There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Juventude leading Náutico by 16 points.
- Juventude has the most scored goals (36) in Serie B
- Náutico have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
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 time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Náutico, who are travelling more than 3600 kilometers to play this game.
Juventude form and stats
Juventude, who have the most scored goals (36) in Serie B, have collected 22 points from their Serie B home games so far after 6-4-2.
In their previous game, the manager L. de Oliveira Preto led his Juventude to a defeat in the Serie B match away at America Mineiro. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi. Before that, Juventude had a home game versus Parana which ended with a victory 5-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Juventude have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won six times, drawn four and lost two.
The manager L. de Oliveira Preto will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Botafogo SP in only four days.
Juventude have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi with 20 goals in 12 league matches. From these home matches, Juventude have conceded only 9 goals.
Náutico form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Náutico so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-8 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Náutico, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
Náutico played 0-0 against Vitoria in their previous match. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting CRB's place.
We have checked recent matches where Náutico have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were four victories, six draws and five defeats.
After this away game Náutico return home for a Serie B game against Guarani. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Náutico when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 12 league matches away. Náutico's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Náutico - Juventude 3-3. H2H stats regardless of arena (last seven matches): Juventude one win, four draws and Náutico two victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
