June 9th features a match where Sport Recife and Bahia will play a match in Salvador in a meeting of these two evenly matched Serie B teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, a perfect day for football. Bahia sits at 2nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-1 win against Criciúma. Marquinhos Gabriel scored the first goal for Criciúma in the 37th minute, then Davó tied it up for Bahia in the 60th minute on a feed from Lucas Mugni But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 95th minute on a goal by Davó. Bahia should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while 3rd placed Sport Recife is fresh off their 2-1 win against Ponte Preta. Lucca struck first for Ponte Preta in the 13th minute from the penalty spot, but L. Batista da Silva Junior got the equalizer for Sport Recife in the 49th minute from the penalty spot But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 51st minute on a goal by Ray Vanegas. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Sport Recife should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season.
Sport Recife’s most prolific scorer has been L. Batista da Silva Junior. The Brazilian defender has netted 3 goals over the last 5 matches. Bahia is fortunate enough to have Davó in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals.
