Bahia comes into this match having drawn their last four games and lost the one before that, so they are struggling to find a win. Botafogo's recent form is very similar, with four draws in their last five matches, though they did manage a win in their fifth most recent game.

Looking at their recent meetings, these two teams have a history of playing very tight matches. Their last several games against each other have all ended in draws without any goals being scored.
