Botafogo will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their away fixture against Flamengo.  They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Flamengo's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.  

When it comes to attacking power Artur Jorge will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 11 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in 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.  

It's been a mixed run of form at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos for Botafogo recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.

Bahia will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Gremio.  In that game they had 60% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Gremio who had 3 attempts and 2 on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.  

On an individual basis, Everaldo Stum will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Bahia's last 6 league games.
