Bahia vs Juventude Prediction and Betting Tips | July 27th 2025

Bahia will host Juventude at the Arena Fonte Nova on Sunday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The hosts will be keen to return to winning ways and pick up vital points to remain potential title contenders early in the season.

Bahia needed an 80th minute equalizer to rescue a point against a struggling Fortaleza side last Saturday, ultimately failing to pick up points that could have seen them move up to fourth place in the league table. The Steel Squadron currently sit in sixth place, nine points off the top despite having two games in hand against Internacional and Vasco da Gama, and will hope to continue their solid start to the season on Sunday.

Juventude, on the other hand, are having another difficult season as they sit in the relegation zone, just seven points clear of bottom-placed Sport Recife. Verdão were desperate to keep the game goalless but eventually conceded an 85th-minute winner in their 1-0 loss to Sao Paulo on Thursday, marking their ninth league loss of the season, and will be hoping to salvage a result against a side in much better form when they take the trip to Salvador this weekend.
