Bahia, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Atlético Mineiro will have left the Bahia squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Atlético Mineiro who had 11 attempts and 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Renato Paiva will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Bahia will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Red Bull Bragantino, Recent FormRed Bull Bragantino manager Pedro Caixinha will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Vasco da Gama. Their share of possession in that meeting was 64%, while racking up 24 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Vasco da Gama had 8 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They have taken just a small number of points from their past 6 matches, and while they have only let in 3 goals, it has been their unpredictable form in front of goal that has been their issue, with 5 goals netted in those 6 matches. When playing away from home, they have scored in 5 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
RB Bragantino will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Red Bull Bragantino, Thiago Borbas will be looking to add more goals against Bahia in this match.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Red Bull Bragantino.
Massa Bruta will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Bahia, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 5 meetings between the two.
In their last 4 league meetings, Bahia have failed to record a victory against RB Bragantino.
With Kayky da Silva Chagas (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Danilo Fernandes (Thigh) also unavailable in the shorter term, Bahia manager Renato Paiva will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
The injury list is starting to mount up for RB Bragantino manager Pedro Caixinha with Lucas Cunha (Cruciate ligament), Hélio Helinho (Sprained knee), Raul Lô Gonçalves (Knee), Henry Mosquera (Knee) and Eric Ramires (Thigh) all unavailable for selection, and Eduardo Santos (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
