Palmeiras and Bahia have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie A.

Insights:
  • Palmeiras have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Bahia has the fewest clean sheets (3) in Serie A

It's no vacation for neither Palmeiras nor Bahia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

It's quite the trip for Bahia when visiting Palmeiras as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.

Bahia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bahia, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Serie A, so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Bahia as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Coritiba match.

The manager L. Venker de Menezes was unhappy after their last game, a Copa Sudamericana match played at their home ground Arena Fonte Nova. Bahia suffered a 2-3 loss to Defensa y Justicia. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Ceara.

The schedule is very tough for Bahia now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Sudamericana game at Defensa y Justicia is waiting in only four days.

Bahia are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 11 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bahia have conceded 20 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
