Red Bull Bragantino vs Bahia Prediction and Betting Tips

Red Bull Bragantino will host Bahia at the Estadio Cicero de Souza Marques on Thursday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The hosts will be hoping to continue their remarkable start to the season with a result that could see them end the matchday in first place.

Bragantino enjoyed a satisfactory 2-0 win over Vasco last time out to move into third place, only one point off the top. The hosts had a poor campaign last year, only narrowly escaping relegation but have started this season in impressive form with only two losses from their opening 11 games and will be keen to continue in this manner in midweek.

Bahia’s last league outing saw them pick up a 2-1 win over a struggling Sao Paulo side and put them only five points behind Thursday's hosts. Esquadrão de Aço have won three of their last five league outings but could end the matchday as low as 12th place should they fail to pick up any point in Braganca Paulista.

Red Bull Bragantino vs Bahia Prediction

Massa Bruta are slight favorites going into Thursday's game and will receive an additional boost from their home form. They will, however, need to avoid complacency to get all three points against a decent side.

Tricolor will be satisfied with a draw and have the potential to cause an upset by getting all three points. They have, however, lost their last five games on the road and could see defeat here as well.

Prediction: Red Bull Bragantino 1-0 Bahia
