Juventude form and stats
With 1 Serie A win, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Juventude are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The followers are hoping that Juventude will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the game against Flamengo (placed 7th). Juventude were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Juventude's goalkeeper César was extremely busy against Flamengo, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves. Forster was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.72 out of 10. The defender Forster won 5 of 6 duels.
In the match before that, Juventude hosted Goiás and drew the game 0-0.The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Juventude here at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 9 games).
