Bahia arrives at the unbeaten confrontation under the command of Rogério Ceni, but still takes the first steps in the season. Due to the preparation held in Girona, Spain, the main team made only three games between Baianão and the Northeast Cup. >
Rogério Ceni, by the way, has been running the cast to give the athletes rhythm and avoid wear. Therefore, some positions are not yet well defined. In the goal, Danilo Fernandes must be the holder. He debuted in the 4-0 defeat over Sampaio Corrêa, while Marcos Felipe played the two games of Baianão.>
Still in defense, Gilberto and Luciano Juba assume positions on the right and left sides, respectively, while Kanu and Ramos Mingo form the pair of defenders. >
The biggest dispute is in midfield. In addition to the pieces that remained at the club, Tricolor hired three more athletes: Rodrigo Nestor, Erick and Michel Araújo.

In addition to doubt about the composition of midfield, Ceni did not reveal whether to climb three or four players in the sector. Caio Alexandre and Everton Ribeiro have guaranteed presences, while Jean Lucas and Cauly fight for position. >
In the attack, Erick Pulga and Ademir started the year in high rotation and, as Erick, also ask for a starter in the starting lineup. The tendency is for Ademir to be climbing along with Lucho and flea to be an option for the second half. Biel and Everaldo are also among the options. >
While deciding the starting lineup, Ceni knows he will not have at least four players available. Gabriel Xavier, Santiago Arias, Iago Borduchi and Michel Araújo are injured and have not debuted yet in the season. >
Defender David Duarte, who recovers from injury, trained with his companions during and the week and can be related. Striker Willian José improves the physical part and will hardly be part of the tricolor delegation during the classic. >
