Only the second game in the Serie A for these teams and it's all to play for here at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi as Juventude welcomes Athletico PR. Check out this preview!
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa do Brasil game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Avaí. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Juventude form and stats
Last season, Juventude's league statistics were 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, resulting in a 3rd position in the Gaucho 1. Over these eleven matches they scored 14 goals and conceded 12. Playing at home last season Juventude managed 3-0-2 (win-draw-lost) with 8 goals and 7 conceded. Juventude has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi. We remember; it was Pelotas.
Juventude manager M. dos Santos Gonçalves and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Cuiabá (placed 8th) in the Serie A. Michel Macedo, defender, was given a rating of 7.35/10 in that game, top of the team. Macedo hit two key passes and won 4 of 6 duels.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Internacional (1-4).Athletico PR form and stats
Let's have a look at how Athletico PR performed last season in the Paranaense 1: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats. In total they scored 13 and conceded 14 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 0 and lost 3 with 3/4 goals scored/conceded. Athletico PR has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
The Athletico goalkeeper Aderbar Melo dos Santos Neto is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 193 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Athletico are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Avaí.
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus America Mineiro in the Serie A.After this away game Athletico return home for a Copa do Brasil game against Avaí. That game is only three sleeps after this.
