Flamengo Aim to Maintain Top Spot Against Bahia
Flamengo sit first in the table after 30 games while Bahia lie fifth. Flamengo remain unbeaten across their last five outings with two wins and three draws. They have also taken nine victories from the previous ten meetings between these sides. Flamengo score 1.9 goals a game on the road and concede 0.8 overall, figures that compare well with Bahia’s 1.5 scored and 0.9 conceded at home. Bahia will be without Leo Vieira through a knee injury. Flamengo travel without Ayrton Lucas, Evertton Araujo and G. de Arrascaeta but still look the stronger side on current form. How the visitors handle set pieces at Arena Fonte Nova may decide whether they secure the win.
