Santa Cruz U20 form and stats
Last season their Sao Paolo Youth Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.Santa's previous game was a Copa Do Nordeste U20 match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Confianca PB U20. The home side are looking to build on that result.
A Copa Do Nordeste U20 defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at CRB U20.There will be little rest for Santa after this match as they are travelling to Novorizontino U20 for a Sao Paolo Youth Cup game in only three days.
União ABC U20 form and stats
They also participated in Sao Paolo Youth Cup last season. This ended in the 2nd round.Two away games in a row for União, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-5 versus Floresta CE U20 in the Copa Do Brasil U20. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Floresta CE U20 was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The game before that, in the Copa Do Brasil U20, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Floresta CE U20.The schedule is very tough for União now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Sao Paolo Youth Cup game at União Iacanga U20 is waiting in only three days.
