- Juventude have the most conceded goals (45) in Serie A
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Juventude, who are travelling more than 1400 kilometers to play this game.
Fluminense and Juventude should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Fluminense form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho as Fluminense have scored 27 goals to get 29 points from 14 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 9-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Happy days for Fluminense in their previous game, a fixture away at Flamengo (placed 4th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. The victory against Flamengo came after Nathan's winning goal. The Fluminense manager Silva was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 67th minute. The attacking player Cano was announced as "man of the match" for Fluminense with the rating of 7.62/10. Cano hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil.
Sports gamblers, take note: A review of the 12 most recent league matches reveals that 9 of them had at least one goal from each team.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Fluminense as they are travelling to their away game against Atletico Mineiro in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
The Fluminense fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 27 goals in 14 league matches. Fluminense have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Juventude form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Juventude so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-8 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Juventude have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road.
There were no winners in Juventude's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Fortaleza (placed 14th). As mentioned above, Juventude drew the match against Fortaleza. Manager Filho brought on Gabriel to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Midfield player Jádson was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.42/10. Jádson dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Palmeiras's place.We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Juventude played away with similar odds. This revealed 6 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 5 times.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Juventude manager Filho as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Athletico PR.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Juventude as they have only managed to score 9 times from 13 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Juventude has visited these top teams four times, and 3 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!
Head 2 Head
Juventude - Fluminense 1-0 was the output when these sides last met, also in this season. Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: three - three - three (Fluminense wins - draws - Juventude wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
