Both Juventude and Corinthians are desperate for points in this match, despite the away team carrying a 14 point advantage so far this season.

Insights:
  • Juventude have the fewest matches under the total-line (12) in Serie A

It's no vacation for neither Juventude nor Corinthians as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Relegation threatens Juventude who should definitely be looking for some points here. Corinthians are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Juventude form and stats

8-6-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Juventude so far this season. When Juventude hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Flamengo, Bragantino, Atletico Mineiro, Fortaleza and Palmeiras), they have won 2 of 5 matches! Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Juventude, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Juventude lost their last game at São Paulo (placed 13th) after a 1-3 scoreline. The striker Chico bested all the other footballers in that game and received a match rating of 8.13 out of 10. Chico hit the woodwork once, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 27 successful passes (of 29 total).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Fortaleza.

The Juventude fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 18 matches. Juventude have only conceded 15 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Corinthians form and stats

The visitors are W5-D7-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Corinthians's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Corinthians's last game was the home draw against Gremio (1-1). Willian got a match rating of 8.32 in that game, top player of the team. Willian served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 7 of 8 times and had 42 successful passes (of 45 total).

Before that, Corinthians secured a home win against Atletico PR with the score 1-0.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Corinthians as they have only managed to score 14 times from 18 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. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (17 so far).

Head 2 Head
