Bahia is one of the most traditional teams in Brazilian football, and in recent years it has garnered significant attention due to its acquisition by the City Group.
Nowadays, the team boasts an extremely competitive roster, especially when compared to other teams in the competition. Bahia is expected to contend fiercely for major achievements in the 2024 Serie A.
The reason Bahia appears so strong is the investments made in the squad during the last transfer window. The team has significantly strengthened with key players who can turn the tide in matches. Certainly, this team is one of the biggest unknowns of the competition, and it is well worth keeping an eye on until the end of the season.
Serie A 2024 Expectations
At the beginning of the year, Bahia made significant reinforcements, and as a result, expectations for the team’s performance this year have soared. The fans expect a spot in the next Libertadores, and indeed, this is possible, especially with the club’s strong performance in the early rounds of Serie A. To secure this coveted spot, the club just needs to maintain its good form.
The board is working with more modest and plausible goals, dreaming of a spot in the Sudamericana, which is quite realistic considering last season, when Bahia narrowly escaped relegation in the final round of the competition. Regardless, this is a strong and competitive team that should shine in the 2024 Serie A.
Transfer Market Movements
Bahia was one of the most active teams in the transfer market at the beginning of this year. The team brought in players for almost every position. Starting with attacking midfielder Everton Ribeiro, who, after a long successful stint with Flamengo, is now one of the main reinforcements for Bahia this season.
In addition to the midfield, the team overhauled the entire defensive sector by bringing in two center-backs, a full-back, and a new goalkeeper to balance the team. So far, the signings have shown good results, the team plays well, and has a bench that can completely change the team’s characteristics on the field.
Current Moment in the Competition
Bahia’s start to the season has surprised everyone; the team is currently fourth in the Serie A standings with incredible results against major Brazilian football teams. So far in the competition, they have five wins, three draws, and only one loss, with a notable ability to come back in tough games, keeping the team always competitive.
So far, few teams have been as surprising as Bahia; the team is strong and has been playing well. The expectations of the fans seem closer to the current reality of the team than those of the board; in any case, Bahia is doing very well in the 2024 Serie A.
The Future
Bahia was acquired by the City Group in 2022, and the trend is for the team to become increasingly prominent in the Serie A. With targeted investments, this team can continue to improve, and it seems this method of operation will continue over the next few years, making Bahia an increasingly strong club.
