Confiança form and stats

Confiança have played 13 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The Confiança fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie B game also here at Estádio Estadual Lourival Baptista: A 1-5 defeat against CSA (placed 6th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Vitória and winning 3-2.

As you see from the result above, Confiança suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

There will be little rest for Confiança after this match as they are travelling to Guarani for a Serie B game in only four days.

Confiança has scored 17 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. Confiança's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Juventude form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (41) in Serie B, on their Serie B travels is 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. With three draws in a row for Juventude the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

There were no winners in Juventude's previous match, a Serie B home game that ended 2-2 vs Oeste (placed 20th). A draw for Juventude before that, at their own venue hosting Chapecoense (1-1).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Juventude manager L. de Oliveira Preto as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Vitória.

Juventude have scored 17 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. Juventude have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Juventude - Confiança 3-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
