Bahia (Position 17th N.8-I.5-H.16)
Free from the International Cups now, she can refocus on her battle for survival. Her material is not bad, just maybe the double obligations, detuned her. She has one (1) game less, as her match with Corinthians was postponed. This definitely gave breath and concentration to the players. Maybe this break will help him focus on this match as he has won eight (8) games here. As long as I managed to see significant absences are not mentioned.
Atletico Paranaense (Position 10th N.11-I.6-H.13)
He seems to have found a rhythm by counting, already five (5) consecutive matches without defeat. Now the goal of the Libertadores is a bit far, but the Sudamericana is very likely. The impressive thing is that during this period, where she played three (3) away matches, she collected seven (7) of her ten-seven (17) total points away from home. That is, 50% of the points he had collected in the previous twelve matches (12). The point is that in this match he will come down with some important absences. Like Acevedo, Abner, Eric, Lucho Gonzalez. And not only.
Bahia had time to prepare for this important match in full. Atletico, apart from the fact that they will go down with many absences, their match is not so crucial and I also find it difficult for the series match to remain undefeated away from home. I go with the hosts.
