Red Bull Bragantino came into this season after the worst one since their arrival in the Brazilian top-flight division in the 2019/20 season. The popular Braga Boys avoided relegation by two points and couldnt secure even the Copa Sudamericana. However, this year, the Braga Boys are focusing solely on domestic competitions and are performing much better. Right now, they are sitting in third place with 23 points from 11 rounds - just one point away from the top spot!
In the past, Bahia were a team that pretty often moved between the Serie A and B. However, after they joined the City Group in 2023, we expect them to gradually become one of the best teams in the country. Last year, they had a nice run in Serie A, finishing eight, which was one of their best finishes ever. This year, they are once again doing a solid job, as they are in 7th place with 18 points. The main reason they aren't higher in the league's table is that they really struggle away from home.
Red Bull Bragantino vs Bahia pick: Red Bull Bragantino to win
Red Bull Bragantino are on an excellent three-game winning streak in all competitions. During that three-game stretch, they did an amazing job, especially defensively, as they managed to secure a 9:0 goal difference against Vasco, Juventude, and Criciuma. To be fair, those are undoubtedly not the teams on Bahia's level, but RB Bragantino showed they are more than capable of winning in Serie A as they won seven out of 11 matches - 64%.
Bahia had their ups and downs in all competitions, but it is evident they are a much weaker team on the road. Currently, they are on an atrocious five-game losing streak away from home in all competitions. So, even though Bragantino plays their matches in a neutral stadium, we definitely do not trust Bahia to avoid defeat.
In the last four h2h games, both teams won twice, each time at home. So, considering the trend in the previous h2h games, Bragantino's excellent form, and Bahia's road struggles, we believe the hosts are much closer to winning the upcoming Serie A game.

Midfielder Eric Ramires and defender Guilherme suffered injuries in the previous game against Vasco and had to leave the field in the 54th and 69th minutes. Both are questionable for the upcoming match. Additionally, the players who missed the previous games should remain sidelined - Douglas Mendes, Fernando, Lucao, Henry Mosquera, and Agustin Sant'Anna.
Meanwhile, Lucas Barbosa and Guzman Rodriguez served their one-game suspensions in the previous game against Vasco and will be available.

Bahia team news
After a 3:1 win over Nautico in the Copa do Nordeste, coach Rogerio Ceni spoke to the media. He was happy with the win and singled out the performance of his striker Tiago, who scored two goals. The coach said Thiago earned his place in the training and that he has shown progress, not only in terms of goals. "He is determined. His technical quality has been improving. He has a lot of strength. His aerial game is not fantastic, but he can compete," the coach added.
The team should have no new injuries, but the players who missed the previous matches should remain sidelined - Erick, Kanu, and Rezende.
