Our Prediction
Considering the significant gap in current league form, table position, and goal difference, EC Bahia enters this match as the clear favorite. While Juventude will be fighting for survival at home, their defensive frailties are a major concern against a Bahia side that has proven capable of finding the back of the net consistently. Bahia’s strong performance this season, coupled with their dominant 3-0 victory over Juventude earlier in 2025, suggests they have the quality to secure another win.
