In their home debut, Bahia had a goal in extra time to defeat Santos, by 1 to 0, obtaining their first three points in the tournament. In the debut, in Porto Alegre, the tricolor had been defeated by the International by 2 to 0. Thus, closed its participation in the two initial days in the thirteenth position.
Title is an ambition that does not fit the Bahian tricolor. Thus, the team must even prioritize the competition of the Northeast Cup, which is the current champion, leaving the Brasileirão games in the background. Thus, coach Guto Ferreira must climb a mixed team or even fully reserve to face the Hurricane.
Even because the return match of the quarterfinals against Botafogo-PB is scheduled for next Thursday, May 3, also in Salvador. In the first leg, the tricolor made 2 to 1. Now, just the tie to secure a place in the semifinals.
Even with limited resources, the board is trying to give options to the coach. The goalkeeper Fernando Castro was hired. The player, 21, occupies the open space with the departure of Rafael Santos to Vila Nova. His name has already appeared in the Daily Newsletter of the Brazilian Football Confederation and the athlete is at the disposal of Guto Ferreira for the match this Sunday.
Also involved in the South American Cup race, in which he lost to the Blooming debut in Bolivia for 1 year, Bahia will play five games in a 15-day break.
For the duel this Sunday, of the players who act more regularly in the starting team, it is certain that will be used midfielder Zé Rafael, the sides Nino and Léo and defender Lucas, who were not related to the game in João Pessoa on Thursday, market.Zé Rafael and Léo, suspended by the accumulation of yellow cards, could not act. Nino gained time to accompany the birth of his son. Lucas, who got two out-of-action matches for muscle injury, was put aside for fear he would not bear the load of games.
Wear is a problem that does not affect athletic-PR. The club used a reserve team to win the title of the Paranaense Championship and the titular team was preserved for more important matches like the matches of the Brazilian and Brazilian Cup.
He reached the round of 16 in the first tournament and accumulated four of the six points played in the first two rounds of the Brazilian Championship. In this way, he assumed the vice-leadership of the competition.
The midfielder Camacho, who was sent off in the goalless draw with Grêmio on Matchday 2, will not be able to play on Sunday. Must comply with automatic suspension. The coach Fernando Diniz must choose between Bruno Guimarães and Jonathan for the vacancy. The former would not imply any other change, as it has similar characteristics to the holder. The second would make Matheus Rossetto move sideways.
The probable red-black team for the match is Santos; Pavez, Paulo André and Thiago Heleno; Jonathan (Bruno Guimarães), Matheus Rossetto, Lucho González and Carleto; Guilherme, Nikão and Pablo.
The intense schedule faced for Bahia will be the first great opportunity that Atletico-PR has to take advantage of the differentiated preparation it has made for the 2018 season. Therefore, even when acting as a visitor, the Hurricane should be indicated as a better guess.
