Bahia - Criciúma. 3rd position welcomes 14th position. The ball is round - get a broad game guide here!

Insights:
  • Bahia have the most scored goals (11) in Serie B
  • Criciúma have yet to win a game away.

These teams have little in common geographically as Criciúma have to travel 2800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Bahia form and stats

Bahia have collected 12 points from their Serie B home games so far after 4-0-0.

The fans are hoping that Bahia will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Tombense (placed 16th).

Before that, Bahia had a home game versus Ponte Preta which ended with a victory 2-1.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie B game versus Sport Recife in only four days. This game is also played here at Arena Fonte Nova.

Goals decide football matches and Bahia are scoring many of them at home; 9 on target from 4 league matches. Defensively Bahia have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 4 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Criciúma form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Criciúma aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 193 league minutes without a goal. Hygor was the last player to find the net.

Two away games in a row for Criciúma, whose manager Tencati could celebrate last time after the win against Internacional SC.

A 0-1 loss hosting Cruzeiro before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Criciúma are hosting Sampaio Corrêa in the Serie B only three days away.

Criciúma are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 4 away games.

Head 2 Head

Data for the former ten meetings featuring these two sides are: five wins for Bahia, two draws and three wins for Criciúma. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
