It's early days in the Serie B and both Náutico and Juventude are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Náutico have less rest than Juventude in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie B game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Vitória.
It's quite the trip for Juventude when visiting Náutico as the cities are 3600 kilometers apart.
Náutico form and stats
Náutico are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two Serie B games here at Itaipava Arena Pernambuco. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Náutico. Náutico have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
The home team returns to Itaipava Arena Pernambuco after being equal after 90 minutes with Vitória (placed 10th) on their last time out; the Serie B game ended 0-0. Preceding that game was the home draw versus CRB that ended 1-1.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Náutico have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won three, drawn five and lost one.
Náutico has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Juventude form and stats
Juventude are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie B, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Juventude delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against America Mineiro (placed 4th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. Prior to that match, the Juventude manager L. de Oliveira Preto faced defeat when travelling to Parana and losing 1-3.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Juventude in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Juventude, five draws and three defeats.
Juventude has another fixture away, a Copa do Brasil game, against America RN in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Juventude has managed 2 goals and let in 3 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
