The league table is allowed to rest as América RN and Juventude battle for Copa do Brasil honors in this first 3rd Round leg of two fixtures.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Serie B game only four days ago. That game, against Nautico, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Juventude.
These teams have little in common geographically as Juventude have to travel 3900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Juventude form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated XV de Piracicaba and Coruripe in order to reach 3rd Round of Copa do Brasil.

When we have look at the Copa do Brasil statistics, we find 0W-3D-0L. This is both home and away.
Juventude has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Nautico for a Serie B game that ended a draw (3-3). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting America Mineiro in the Serie B.
An inspired comeback made the scores level in Juventude's duel with Nautico. It looked bad at 0-2 but the team were not done and fought back to 3-3 after Dalberto found the equalizer. As you can tell from the result, the match against Nautico was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Goalkeeper Luiz Carlos made a total of seven saves, making him a hero against Nautico. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes.
After this away game Juventude return home for a Serie B game against Botafogo SP. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Juventude has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 5 goals from 3 games. For Juventude, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
