Juventude form and stats

36 points is a decent return from 18 Serie B games here at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi for Juventude. The data says 10 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses. 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.

No payout for Juventude in their previous match, an away game at Avai that ended in defeat 2-5. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Cruzeiro.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

A decent goal production from Juventude in their home games so far, with 28 goals from 18 league matches. Juventude are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 13 from 18 matches.

Figueirense form and stats

Figueirense have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 3-5-10 (18 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Figueirense's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Figueirense lost away at CRB (1-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Brasil de Pelotas.

Figueirense lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Figueirense as they have only managed to score 13 times from 18 away games in the league. Figueirense have conceded 29 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Figueirense - Juventude 1-1. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's one Juventude victory, five draws and four Figueirense wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
