Team News

Fortaleza
Bahia
  • Fortaleza have a clean bill of health for Sunday.
  • However, Paulão will serve a suspension after being sent off against Fluminense and Juninho is ruled out as he cannot face his parent club.
  • Jackson, who has recovered from injury, and Ararauna will deputise.
  • Rogério, Elton, Marco António and Giovanni remain injured and miss out Bahia's last match of the season.
  • Arthur Caíke was sent off against Vasco and will serve a match ban.
  • Conversely, Ronaldo will bring fresh legs to the middle of the park after missing out through suspension in midweek.

Prediction

  • Fortaleza drew against Fluminense in midweek which means that they will not have Copa Libertadores competition next season. Rogerio Ceni's men, however are still aiming for a top-10 finish and will need to beat Bahia in order to do so.
  • Bahia will try to end a disappointing second half of the season (only 4 wins in 18 matches) with a victory at Arena Castelão.
  • The hosts, however, have been very tough to beat and are expected to finish the season with a win.
