An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie D, with both Bahia de Feira and Palmas experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 5th and the visitors in 6th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
It's quite the trip for Palmas when visiting Bahia as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.
Bahia de Feira form and stats
The story so far in the Serie D for Bahia de Feira at their home stadium (Estádio Jodilton Souza) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
Bahia drew their last game, also a home match. Atletico Alagoinhas (placed 2nd) was the opponent, 3-3 the score. Prior to that, an away loss at Caldense.
Trouble was brewing at the score 1-3 against Atletico Alagoinhas last time out, but a goal from Menezes completed a comeback to a draw result for Bahia. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Bahia have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estádio Jodilton Souza with 9 goals in 5 league matches. 5 goals have been conceded.
Palmas form and stats
The manager Alexandre is not happy with the away performances in the Serie D so far, as all 5 matches have been lost. Palmas are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Araguacema fixture. Bitter travels for Palmas as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Araguacema match.
Palmas failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie D home match vs Brasiliense that ended with defeat 0-3. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Gama wasn't a success with a 1-6 loss.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Palmas's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 5 matches. The Palmas defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 19 goals in their away games.
