The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Juventude are in the 9th position while the guesting Confiança worry at 15th.
It's no vacation for neither Juventude nor Confiança 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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Confiança have to travel 3100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
