TEAM NEWS

Bahia striker Artur, one of their main names in 2019, will not play this weekend. He came on a loan from Palmeiras and a clause prevents him from playing against his former club.

The visitors don’t have any new absences. In fact, they have two players coming back from suspension – attacking midfielder Lucas Lima and defensive midfielder Felipe Melo.

MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN

After opening the score against the leaders Flamengo in their away match last weekend, Bahia ended up losing that match 3-1, which was a fair result because they were not playing that well to have the lead against the best team in the Brasileiro.

With that loss they now come from six consecutive winless games with four losses and two draws during this period and with that they are close to going down to the bottom half of the table after having spent some time keeping their fans hopeful with their chances of qualifying to next year’s main continental cup.

Unfortunately for them, Palmeiras desperately need to win to keep dreaming of winning the title and didn’t lose any of their last eight league matches, having won six of those games, and when counting only away matches they have only one loss in the last seven of them, which is the kind of record that makes them favourites to win this match.

SECOND PREDICTION: FIRST TEAM TO SCORE - PALMEIRAS

Palmeiras were the first team to score in 21 of their 32 league matches so far and they played eight of those games as visitors, which is more than the number of matches Bahia opened the score when playing at home, and with that in mind we should expect the visitors to score first this weekend.

HEAD TO HEAD

Palmeiras have been unbeaten against Bahia since 2012, with five wins and five draws since that last loss.
