-----------------------------
Team Analysis
Bragantino has had a roller-coaster start to the season, currently sitting 12th with 14 points from 11 games. Their attack relies heavily on winger Gabriel Sara, who has 2 goals and 3 assists this season, but lacks consistency in breaking down tight defenses. Defensively, they’ve conceded 16 goals (tied for 4th-highest in the league), with center-back Leonardo Simon being prone to positioning errors. However, their home record at Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid is slightly reassuring, with 3 wins and 2 draws in 5 home matches.
Bahia, ranked 8th with 17 points, has shown more balance. Their midfield trio of Juninho Capixaba, Danilo Barcelos, and Lucas Mineiro excels in ball retention, averaging 54% possession this season. Strikers Luiz Henrique (3 goals) and Vitor Bueno (2 goals) form a dynamic partnership, but the defense has conceded 14 goals, partly due to right-back Matheusinho’s defensive lapses in away games.
Lineup Analysis
Bragantino (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Cléber (started all 11 league games, 1.45 goals conceded per match).
Defense: Left-back Alexsander will face pressure from Bahia’s right winger Vitor Bueno; center-backs Leonardo Simon and Edimar must improve communication after recent errors.
Midfield: Holding midfielders Alison and Felipe Pires will struggle to contain Bahia’s midfield trio; attacking midfielder Gabriel Sara needs to drop deeper to link play.
Attack: Wingers Lucas Evangelista and Helio Vermelho will focus on flanking runs, while striker Bruno Praxedes (2 goals) must exploit gaps in Bahia’s defense.
Bahia (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Rafael Cabral (7 clean sheets in 11 games, one of the league’s best).
Defense: Left-back Éder will attack aggressively, but needs to cover for Matheusinho on the right; center-back Nino Paraíba is key to marking Praxedes.
Midfield: Juninho Capixaba (2 assists) will dictate tempo, with Danilo Barcelos providing defensive cover; Lucas Mineiro will surge forward to support attacks.
Attack: Vitor Bueno (right wing) and Luiz Henrique (left wing) will target Bragantino’s full-backs, while striker Guilherme Parede (1 goal) aims to exploit Simon’s vulnerabilities.
Nowgoal Prediction
Bahia’s midfield control and balanced attack give them an edge. Bragantino’s defensive flaws and overreliance on Gabriel Sara may leave them exposed. Expect Bahia to dominate possession and create more chances.
Prediction: Bahia win 2-1.
