Team News

Bahia
Corinthians
  • Moisés served his suspension in midweek and will be fresh to start at left-back on Sunday.
  • Elton did not feature against Londrina due to family issues and his presence on Sunday remains uncertain. Gregore would be his likely replacement.
  • Gilberto and Fernandão will fight for a place up front. The latter might get the nod after scoring against Londrina in the Brazilian Cup on Thursday.
  • Gabriel, Júnior Urso, Danilo Avelar, Henrique and Gustavo are all injured and will miss Corinthians' first league game of the season.
  • Boselli scored against Chapecoense in midweek and will be full of confidence heading into Sunday.
  • Coach Fábio Carille is expected to name the same starting XI that defeated Chapecoense last time out.

Prediction

  • After a 4-0 win in the first leg, Bahía were able to manage their fitness ahead of Sunday and will hope to start the new league campaign on the right foot. They finished last season unbeaten in their last eight league matches at home.
  • After defeating São Paulo for the state championships, Corinthians beat Chapecoense on Thursday and will be full of confidence heading into this match. Expect a hard-fought encounter.
