Bahia – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Tricolor”, to put it mildly, does not particularly stand out in Brazilian football. Speaking about the previous season, 16th place was a good result – at least the club didn’t get relegated. Still, the owners, City Football Group, and the current coach, Rogerio Ceni, clearly have other ambitions.
There were 8 matches without defeats at the start. The team began to lose literally every second match, but, on the other hand, the second half brings victories, which allows it to sensationally stay in the group of leaders of this Brasileiro.
Corinthians – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Timão” took exactly 50 points last season. And the team went to play in the current Copa Sudamericana draw from 13th position. It just worked out well there: the Brazilians won a rather difficult quartet with 13 points.
At the same time, not everything works out for the ambitious and popular team at the inner stage, to put it mildly. Moreover, the whole season, if not to take into account the cup promotions, is characterized only by a few wins. The club also defeated the crisis-ridden opponent, Fluminense, in April and beat the newcomer, Vitoria Salvador, with a 3-2 score in July. And only the previous round brought a 2-1 result in the home battle against Criciuma.
