Team News

Corinthians
Bahia
  • Jádson has been nursing an injury and could miss out here.
  • There are likely to be a start for Emerson Sheik, possibly in place of Danilo.
  • Gabriel is available after suspension but may not start.
  • Bahia will have to do without key attacking midfielder Zé Rafael this weekend.
  • He picked up his third booking of the season against Botafogo and serves a ban.
  • There could be some rotation with the Copa Sul-Americana in mind.

Prediction

  • You would have been laughed out of town for suggesting Corinthians might be relegation candidates a few months ago, but the table suggests they need to be careful.
  • The Timão are now just three points above the drop zone, their abject form having allowed a host of teams to move above them in the standings.
  • Bahia are one of them, although the Tricolor might be side-tracked by their Copa Sul-Americana tie with Atlético-PR – the second leg is coming up this week.

  • Bahia is another team that did not have a good result in the first game of the Sul-Americana and now has to seek the result away from home in the second game but before that faces Corinthians who does not win the good time in the championship because it was focused on the Copa do Brasil, but after the second place now needs the victory at home so as not to frustrate even more the passionate supporter I agree Corinthians 1 - 0 Bahia
