Bahia vs São Paulo Prediction: Both teams need a win

Bahia vs São Paulo: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on June 01, 2025

Bahia and São Paulo will meet after losing in the last round. Bahia is in seventh place and doing well, but São Paulo is disappointing its fans with its 13th place in the table.

Bahia: Form and statistics

Bahia suffered two defeats this week, one in the league and the other in the Copa Libertadores. At the Arena do Grêmio, the Baianos had 68% possession and more shots than their opponents but lost 1-0. Grêmio's goal came from a controversial penalty. Danish striker Braithwaite went down in the area after reaching the ball before goalkeeper Marcos, but it seemed to be the striker who had provoked the contact. Braithwaite didn't miss the penalty, and the Gaúchos won a game where Bahia was the more attacking team. Rogério Ceni's side remained in Porto Alegre to face Internacional in the Copa Libertadores a few days later and lost again. Bahia needed to win to qualify for the next round, but Inter was stronger. The Tricolor opened the score in the 54th minute through Jean Lucas, and it looked like a surprise was on the cards, but the home side equalized shortly afterward through Vitinho in the 58th minute. Borré made it 2-1 for Inter in the 77th minute, ending the Baianos' chances of qualification. Bahia finished third in the group and will play in the Copa Sudamericana against América de Cali.

Bahia: Lineup

Jean Lucas is back after suspension. Arias has recovered from his injury and was on the bench against Internacional.

São Paulo: Form and statistics

The Tricolor Paulista suffered a shocking defeat at home to Mirassol in the last round. São Paulo fans called the result humiliating, as Mirassol is a small club playing in the Série A for the first time. It was also Mirassol's first away win in the Brasileirão. The Little Lion thoroughly deserved the 2-0 win, having been the best team on the pitch. Luis Zubeldía, São Paulo's coach, was not on the bench due to suspension, which didn't help the team either. The Argentine is being criticized by the fans not only for the results but also for his dull style of football. São Paulo had a good campaign in the Copa Libertadores group stage, finishing in first place with 14 points from six games, but its performance has been mediocre in the league. The Paulistas have two wins, six draws, and two defeats in the Brasileirão. In midweek, São Paulo beat Talleres 2-1 at home in the final group game with goals from Sabino and Luciano.

São Paulo: Lineup

São Paulo has almost an entire team in the medical department. To make things worse, Alisson and André Silva are suspended after picking up a third yellow card in the last game.

🔖São Paulo starting lineup (4-2-3-1) 

Rafael – Ferraresi, Arboleda, Alan Franco, Enzo Díaz – Pablo Maia, Bobadilla – Lucas Ferreira, Oscar, Luciano – Matheus Alves

⛔️Out: Lucas Moura, Calleri, Luiz Gustavo, Igor Vinicius, Henrique, Ferreirinha, Lucca, Marcos Antônio, Cédric, Ruan (injured), Alisson, André Silva (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Luis Zubeldía

Bahia vs São Paulo match prediction 01 June 2025

São Paulo has done well against Bahia in recent years, but the team has 10 injured players and two suspended for this game, which reduces its chances. On the other hand, Bahia has lost its last two matches, and its confidence isn't the best. Still, the Baianos are slight favorites. I'm betting on a Double Chance for Bahia with a maximum of two goals scored in the game.

Our match prediction: 1X & TU 2.5 for 1.95 at Betway.

Our betting tip for this Brasileirão match: BTTS-NO for 1.70 at 1xBet.
