Bahia vs Juventude Prediction and Betting Tips | July 4th 2024

The action continues in round 14 of Brasileiro Serie A as Bahia and Juventude square off at Fonte Nova Arena on Thursday. Rogério Ceni’s men head into the midweek clash unbeaten in their last five games against the visitors and will be looking to extend this dominant run.

Bahia continued to struggle for results on their travels as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Sao Paulo at the Estádio do Morumbi last Sunday.

While Ceni’s side have failed to win four consecutive away games, they now return home where they have won each of their six league matches so far.

With 24 points from 13 matches, Bahia are currently fourth in the Serie A table, level on points with third-placed Botafogo.

Elsewhere, Juventude were denied consecutive league victories for the first time this season as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Fortaleza at Arena Castelão last time out.

Roger Machado’s men have now lost four of their 12 Serie A matches this season while claiming four wins and four draws to collect 16 points and sit 12th in the table.

While Juventude will be looking to find their feet on Thursday, next up is the stern challenge of taking on an opposing side that they have failed to get the better of in their last five meetings since June 2008.
