CSA form and stats

In the previous season, CSA's league statistics were 18 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses, results that produced 5th spot in the Serie B. During these 38 matches they scored 48 goals and conceded 33. Appearing as the host team in the last season CSA managed 9-6-4 (win-draw-lost) with 28 goals and 15 conceded.

CSA are confident in defense, having played 381 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

The CSA followers got no joy from their last game, a Copa do Brasil duel also played here at Estádio Rei Pelé: A 0-3 defeat against America Mineiro.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Ituano that finished 0-0.

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 CSA have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won three, drawn four and lost four.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for CSA as they are travelling to their away game against Brusque in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.

Bahia form and stats

Only one away game in the Serie B so far for Bahia and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 3 victories, 5 draws and 11 losses from 19 travels. Bahia have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of five victories in a row regardless of arena.

Bahia have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Danilo Fernandes Batista. It's been 180 minutes since they last conceded in Serie B.

Bahia delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Azuriz in their previous game; a Copa do Brasil fixture.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Nautico.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bahia playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were four Bahia wins, six draws and three defeats.
