In this week 16 match, on Sun Jul 3rd, Bahia will play host to Grêmio in a Serie B match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Bahia is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Brusque. Rezende struck first for Bahia in the 14th minute, then Hugo Rodallega added another in the 2nd minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Rildo Gonçalves de Amorim Filho In the end, Brusque was frustrated by Bahia’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bahia ended the match with the shutout victory. Bahia should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Grêmio recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Londrina. Gabriel Teixeira Aragão struck first for Grêmio in the 14th minute on a feed from Diego Souza, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Londrina couldn’t manage to score, and Grêmio took the shutout win. Grêmio is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Grêmio’s most prolific scorer has been Diego Souza. The Brazilian attacker has netted 3 goals over the last 5 matches. Bahia is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Lucas Mugni and Hugo Rodallega each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
