Bahia are playing surprisingly well this season. Most pundits expected them to be much closer to the relegation zone, but after 13 league rounds, Bahia are only three points behind the league leader, Flamengo. However, Rogerio Ceni's team has slowed down lately, with only two wins in the last five matches. In the previous game, they lost 3-1 on the road against Sao Paulo. Bahia lost, but they finished the game with bigger ball possession and five shots on the goal more than the opponent.
Juventude are also playing above expectations. They came from Serie B, so their only goal is to avoid relegation. After 12 rounds, Juventude gathered a surprising 16 points, so Roger Machado's team is five points above the drop zone. Juventude has lost two of the last three matches. In the previous game, they lost 2-1 on the road against Fortaleza. Juventude had their chances in that match, but they went home empty-handed.
Bahia vs Juventude pick: Over 2.5 goals
Bahia scored ten goals in the last five matches. Also, in each game, there were three or more goals. On the other hand, there were three goals in four of the previous five Juventude games. Over 2.5 goals should be the best betting choice for this match.
