Bahia manager Rogério Ceni will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Vitoria.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Vitoria, who had 13 shots on goal with 8 on target.  

Ceni will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 11 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.  

Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.

Gremio head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 1-0 home win against Cuiaba in their last league encounter.  They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Cuiaba, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.  

Manager Renato Portaluppi will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 21 most recent trips.  

With 5 victories from their last 6 matches, they really have put together an impressive run of league form.  

Franco Cristaldo will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Gremio.
