On July 5, Arena Fonte Nova (Salvador) will host the first leg of the 1/4 final match of the Copa do Brasil, in which Bahia will compete with Gremio. The battle will start at 02:00 CET.

Bahia

The club even managed to become the national champion twice in the previous century. Still, the recent decades have been brought only the victories at the level of the native state and in the Copa do Nordeste. Moreover, “the Tricolor” spent the previous season in the Serie B (as well as in 2015 and 2016) despite the entry into the project of the same investors that control Manchester City. And the team returned only from the 4th place from there, which is the last one to ensure a promotion. Taking into account the higher mentioned idea, the prospects of “the Tricolor” were not impressive, but it was able, if not to surprise, then, at least, to show a fairly vigorous rate of scoring, which allowed staying at a comfortable distance from the relegation zone. It also turned out to advance in the Copa do Brasil, however, Santos was knocked out at the 1/8 stage due to penalties.

Gremio

The team could not win a new championship title in any way – the second and so far the last one was taken back in 1996. At the same time, the Brazilian club was able to win the main regional tournament, the Copa Libertadores, in 2017. The fans really believed that it would be possible to take the 1st place at the inner arena as well. Still, the team was relegated to the Serie B in 2021 instead. Fortunately, there was enough class not to linger there and return from the very first trial. Moreover, Renato Gaucho’s wards, as if nothing has happened, are again in the group of leaders of the Brasileiro now. There were some slippages at the start, after 6 rounds of the championship: 2 wins and 8 points. Still, starting from the second half of May, it turned out to win essential matches and quickly rise in the table. It is reasonable to mention that it has already overcome 4 opponents, including Cruzeiro, where the away victory was a decisive one.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Speaking about the previous season, the clubs got 2 draws in the Serie B. They also played against each other a round ago in the Brasileiro – Gremio won that away struggle with a 2-1 score.
