Bahia vs Juventude Prediction

Bahia Form

In their last three matches, Bahia won 0-3 and 2-1 against first Red Bull Bragantino then Atletico MG, before drawing 1-1 against Fortaleza. Bahia showed little mercy in their past six matches at the Bahia's stadium, of which they won five and drew once. Going undefeated, they hit the target nine times, while letting in four themselves.

Bahia have already squandered enough points to put themselves under pressure, if they are to challenge for the title seriously in the Serie A this season.

Juventude Form

Juventude have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it started with a 2-0 win against Sport Recife. Unable to follow that up, they went down 4-0 against Cruzeiro, before suffering another loss in a 0-1 match against Sao Paulo. Juventude are winless in their last six away games in the Serie A, in which they drew zero and lost six. They conceded 21 goals while scoring one themselves.

Juventude entered the season hunting for a title, however they find themselves far off track at this stage.

Bahia are far too strong to let a home win slip against Juventude, but at the same time, we don't expect the visitors to get over-run. This makes us target the home win in a match with less than three goals.

Bahia took 12 points from their last seven encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Serie A table. This amounts to three wins after scoring nine times and conceding seven. Juventude fought their way to zero wins and zero points from their last four games against teams inside the top six. They were on target zero times in these matches, but also let in 13 goals. Bahia claimed seven wins, four draws as well as three defeats in the Serie A this season. Juventude have a record of three wins, two draws and nine defeats in the Serie A.
