Bahia are finding life sweet in the top league places while Náutico are more concerned with steering clear of relegation. Who will get the points?
- Bahia have the most matches under the total-line (12) in Serie B
- Náutico have the most conceded goals (26) in Serie B
These teams have little in common geographically as Náutico have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
This looks to be an intriguing match with lots of spark and bustle as both contenders are well refreshed since they last ran out on the pitch. Get this show on the road!
Bahia form and stats
20 points is a decent return from 10 Serie B games here at Arena Fonte Nova for Bahia. The data says 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.
Bahia are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Cruzeiro. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going unbeaten through five league matches. Midfield player Rezende got a match rating of 7.83 in that game, the max score being 10. Rezende hit two key passes and had 22 successful passes (of 27 total).
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus CRB.If you like betting on "both teams to score": A review of the 10 latest league games shows that 8 of them had at least one goal from each side.
The Bahia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Bahia have only conceded 5 from their league home games.

Náutico form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Náutico so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Náutico who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Novorizontino was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Náutico's previous game was their home loss versus Londrina (1-2).
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ponte Preta wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.The attacking power of Náutico when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 9 league matches away. As opposed to that, Náutico have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.
