An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie A, with both Vasco da Gama and Bahia experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 16th place.

Insights:
  • Bahia has the most conceded goals in the first half (26) in Serie A

The visiting Bahia played their last game only three days ago, a Serie A match.

These teams have little in common geographically as Bahia have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Vasco da Gama form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Vasco da Gama have managed 6 wins, 4 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 16 games.

Vasco da Gama travelled for their previous game, a trip to Palmeiras that ended 1-1. Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Atlético Mineiro.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Vasco have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won six, drawn one and lost two.

Vasco are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Flamengo awaits in four days.

The Vasco da Gama fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 16 matches. 17 goals have been conceded.

Bahia form and stats

There's been little loot from Bahia's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 16 away games in the Serie A. Bahia, who have the most conceded goals (32) away in Serie A, only have 2 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 4 draws.

Bahia go into this game after a win, the home game against Corinthians that ended 2-1. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Sport Recife's place.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Bahia in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Bahia, three draws and six defeats.

A new game in only three days for Bahia, the Serie A home match versus Fluminense. Busy days.

Bahia have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 16 goals have been scored. The Bahia manager L. Cavalcanti has some worries about the defense as 32 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Bahia - Vasco 3-0 entered in the official records. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Vasco won three games, one match ended with a draw and Bahia has six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
