With 56 points in 35 matches, this is already Bahia's best campaign in the points-based system. The team is fighting round by round with Fluminense and Botafogo for fifth place in the Brasileirão, a spot that guarantees direct entry into the group stage of the Libertadores.

To keep the dream alive, Tricolor de Aço will travel to Caxias to face Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi this Friday at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time).
