How are the teams coming into the match?

The two teams started the season differently in their respective State Championships. Corinthians began the Paulista Championship with two wins, two draws, and one loss in five matches, as well as six goals scored and five conceded. Timão occupies fourth place in the standings, with eight points.

On the other hand, Bahia still has a 100% record and is unbeaten this season. Tricolor de Aço has five wins in the first five games, with 16 goals scored and three conceded, and leads the Baiano Championship standings with 15 points — holding an eight-point advantage over the second place.

Both teams are coming off a win. Corinthians beat Velo Clube 1-0 away from home in the fifth round of the Paulista. Bahia also comes in with confidence after defeating rival Vitória 1-0 at Barradão in the fifth round of the Baiano.

Why play at Vila?

Corinthians will host the match at Vila Belmiro, in Baixada Santista, due to the Supercopa do Brasil, which takes place this Sunday. The club’s management requested to move up their Brazilian Championship debut to have the same amount of rest as Flamengo.

The issue is that São Paulo and Flamengo are also playing on Wednesday, at Morumbis, at 9:30 PM. The Military Police does not allow teams from the same state to play on the same day. Thus, Corinthians moved the match to Vila Belmiro.
