In this week 19 match, on Tuesday Jul 19th, CRB will travel to Salvador to battle Bahia in a Serie B match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which is great football weather. Bahia sits at 3rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Guarani. Ignacio scored the first goal for Bahia in the 12th minute, then Raí Nascimento added another in the 78th minute on a feed from Lucas Mugni In the end, Guarani was frustrated by Bahia’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bahia ended the match with the shutout victory. Bahia is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while 9th placed CRB is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Brusque. Todinho scored the first goal for Brusque in the 83rd minute from the penalty spot, then Anselmo Ramon tied it up for CRB in the 2nd minute of the second half’s stoppage time from the penalty spot squeezing out at least the one point for CRB. With 19 points in their last 10 matches CRB should be reasonably happy with their performance.
