Opposition watch: how Bahia shape up for Fluminense friendly at Maracanã | OneFootball

Fluminense’s opponent this Sunday, Bahia will have their second and final test at the Maracanã before the season resumes. The team coached by Rogério Ceni is in the final stretch of its mid-season break and is trying to maintain the good form shown in its first warm-up match.

Last weekend, the Tricolor de Aço thrashed Uruguay’s Montevideo City Torque 4-1 at the Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova. The team has been training since June 22 and is using the period without official matches to fine-tune the squad for the second half of the year.

This season, Bahia were knocked out in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil after being eliminated by Remo, and also made an early exit from the Libertadores after losing to O’Higgins in the preliminary stage. In the Brazilian Championship, however, they are enjoying a strong campaign and sit in sixth place.
