Juventude vs Bahia
RIO DE JANEIRO (Interstat) — Juventude will look for a measure of revenge when it hosts Bahia in a Carioca Série A matchup on Friday, Nov. 28, 2025.
The visiting Bahia side enters with momentum, coming off a 1-0 victory over Vasco da Gama on Nov. 23. They also handily defeated Juventude 3-0 in their most recent head-to-head meeting on July 27.
Bahia’s form, however, has been inconsistent. While they have secured notable wins against clubs like Flamengo and Internacional this season, they have also suffered several lopsided defeats, including a 3-2 loss to Fortaleza on Nov. 20 and a 3-0 loss to Atletico Mineiro earlier in November.
Juventude arrives following a tough 2-1 loss to Sao Paulo on Nov. 23. Their recent performances have been a mixed bag, featuring a 3-3 draw with Cruzeiro and a 3-1 victory over Vasco da Gama, but also heavy losses to powerhouses like Palmeiras and Gremio.
Statistical projections point toward a tightly contested match. The Interstat game simulator predicts a 1-1 draw. However, the same outlet’s ELO rating system gives Juventude a slight edge, projecting the home side with a 52.70 percent probability to win.
The game will be a test of Bahia’s ability to maintain its winning form on the road against a Juventude squad seeking to capitalize on its home-field advantage and overturn a recent decisive loss.
