Bahia, Recent FormLast time out, Bahia recorded an impressive 5-1 away win against Corinthians. They achieved 35% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Corinthians' tally of 14 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Sao Paulo, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Cuiaba in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Sao Paulo last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 62%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Cuiaba had 3 shots on goal with 0 on target.
Manager Dorival Júnior will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 2 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches, but playing away from home this season, they have failed to score in 8 of their 17 games.
An away win for Sao Paulo is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 17 games.
On an individual basis, Jonathan Calleri will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Sao Paulo's last 6 league games.
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Tricolor Paulista have failed to score a single goal against Bahia.
With only Kayky da Silva Chagas (Cruciate ligament) and Raul Gustavo (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Rogério Ceni will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With both Rodrigo Nestor (Knee) and Marcos Paulo (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Jonathan Calleri (Ankle), Giuliano Galoppo (Cruciate ligament), João Moreira (Thigh), Lucas Moura (Thigh), Alexander Pato (Foot), James Rodríguez (COVID-19) and Igor Vinícius (Groin) all unavailable in the shorter term, Sao Paulo manager Dorival Júnior will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
