The Juventude & Cuiabá managers L. de Oliveira Preto and M. Oliveira Chamusca are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Serie B league table.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's quite the trip for Cuiabá when visiting Juventude as the cities are 2100 kilometers apart.
Juventude form and stats
Juventude, who have the most scored goals (20) in Serie B, have performed here at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi this season with 3 wins from 6 Serie B matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 0.
Juventude are returning here after visiting Ponte Preta in a Serie B game and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. João Paulo, Igor Inocêncio and Gustavo Bochecha scored the goal(s). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Operario PR.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Juventude, as the Serie B home game vs Brasil de Pelotas is only four days away.
Juventude are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Juventude have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 3 goals.
Cuiabá form and stats
As the visiting team in Serie B matches, Cuiabá, who have the the best goal difference (+9) in Serie B, have produced an overall stat of 3-2-1 so far.
267 minutes! That's how long the Cuiabá goalkeeper Joao Carlos Heidemann and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Cuiabá had fun at their own home (Estádio Alfredo Jaconi) last time out, beating Cruzeiro 1-0. Felipe Marques scored. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Náutico.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager M. Oliveira Chamusca when Felipe Marques scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute. Late drama in the previous game, when Felipe Marques scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time to defeat Cruzeiro.
A quick return to home after this game, as Cuiabá are hosting Ponte Preta in the Serie B only three days away.
Cuiabá are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. Cuiabá have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
