It's advantage Juventude so far with their 4th position in the Serie B table, welcoming Guarani who are placed 13th.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Copa do Brasil match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Gremio.
It's quite the trip for Guarani when visiting Juventude as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
