The forward-backward angular asymmetry (AFB) for Bˉ0→Λpˉπ+ measured by Belle has presented an experimental value in the range of −30% to −50%. In our study, we find that AFB[Bˉ0→Λpˉπ+(B−→Λpˉπ0)] can be as large as (−14.6−1.5+0.9±6.9)%. In addition, we present AFB[Bˉ0→Λpˉρ+(B−→Λpˉρ0)]=(4.1−0.7+2.8±2.0)% as the first prediction involving a vector meson in the charmless B→BBˉ′M decays. While AFB(B→ΛpˉM) indicates an angular correlation caused by the rarely studied baryonic form factors in the timelike region, LHCb and Belle~II are capable of performing experimental examinations.
