Bahia vs RB Bragantino Prediction: Red Bull is struggling

Bahia vs RB Bragantino: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on November 02, 2025

Bahia, currently fifth in the table, hosts RB Bragantino, a club that has just changed its coach. Fernando Seabra was unable to reverse the team's decline and was sacked. Vagner Mancini is the new boss of Red Bull Bragantino.

Bahia: Form and statistics

Bahia lost 2-0 away to São Paulo, once again highlighting their difficulties on the road. Coach Rogério Ceni said his side needs to improve in away games to compete for titles. The Baianos have the second-best home record, but they are only 13th in points won away from home among the 20 teams in the Série A. At the MorumBIS, São Paulo opened the scoring in the 7th minute through Luciano. Ten minutes later, Bahia could have equalized, but Jean Lucas incredibly missed a one-on-one with goalkeeper Rafael. The miss proved fatal as the home team made it 2-0 in the 42nd minute through Bobadilla after an excellent team move. Bahia lost confidence, and in the second half, São Paulo even had a few chances to score a third goal. The Salvador team remains in fifth place with 49 points, a position that guarantees direct qualification for the Copa Libertadores. Fifth place now also guarantees access to the group stage of the competition, after Palmeiras and Flamengo qualified for this year's final. Fluminense and Botafogo have 47 points, and so Bahia can’t lose points against Bragantino.

RB Bragantino: Form and statistics

The Massa Bruta lost 3-0 at home to Vasco da Gama, and the club's management decided to terminate Fernando Seabra's contract. Bragantino started the season very well, occupying the top spots for several rounds, but since the competition was halted due to the FIFA Club World Cup, the team has not been the same. Since the league resumed, Bragantino has won only three games in 18 rounds and is now just five points above the relegation zone. The Bragança Paulista team has lost its last three games, and confidence is very low. Vagner Mancini was appointed to prevent a complete debacle.

Central defender Guzmán Rodríguez suffered a serious knee injury and will not return until 2026. Jhon Jhon, Red Bull's best player, is suspended.

Bahia vs RB Bragantino match prediction 02 November 2025

Bahia is the second team with the most points earned at home, so it's the favorite in this match. The Baianos recently defeated Palmeiras and Flamengo at the Arena Fonte Nova, and it would be a surprise if they fail to beat Red Bull. Bragantino has been disappointing in the second half of the season and has just changed coaches. It remains to be seen how the team will perform under Vagner Mancini, so for now, it is impossible to predict any substantial changes. I am going to bet on a Bahia victory.
