National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Francana U20 or Guarani U20 that keep their silverware dream alive.
Francana U20 form and stats
Last season, Francana U20's Sao Paolo Youth Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.The regulars are hoping that Francana will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the match against Botafogo SP U20. Francana U20 were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Ahead of that match, Francana U20 won a home game hosting Olimpia U20 (1-0).Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cruzeiro AL U20 are coming to town in three days.
Guarani U20 form and stats
Guarani was sent out of Sao Paolo Youth Cup in the 2nd round last season.There might be some fixture complaints from Guarani U20 as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 2-7 against Santos U20. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Santos U20 was particularly ugly (2-7). The humiliation is still top of mind.
A loss against Corinthians U20 was the result prior to that, in a Paulista U20 home game.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Gremio U20 in just three days.
