Bahia challenge Londrina for acclaim and sporting success.

Insights:
  • Bahia have won all their matches at home so far.
  • Londrina have lost all their away matches so far.

It's quite the trip for Londrina when visiting Bahia as the cities are 2200 kilometers apart.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Bahia and Londrina.

Bahia form and stats

Perfect Serie B season at home so far for Bahia 2 wins from 2 appearances. Bahia has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Arena Fonte Nova. We remember; it was Sport Recife.

No payout for Bahia in their previous match, an away game at Ituano that ended in defeat 0-1. Midfielder Danielzinho was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.23 (out of ten) in that game. Danielzinho hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 61 successful passes (of 68 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sampaio Correa in a game that was won 1-0.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Bahia at home in the league. 3 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Londrina form and stats

It's not happening yet for Londrina on their Serie B travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? A depressing four defeats in a row for Londrina in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Operario PR.

Londrina's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Vila Nova that finished 2-2. Midfielder Paulo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.43. Paulo scored one goal and hit four key passes.

Prior to that match, the Londrina manager Batista faced defeat when travelling to Cruzeiro and losing 0-1.

Londrina have the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Bahia one win, zero draws and Londrina three victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
