Juventude will be hoping to bounce back here following a 5-1 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Botafogo.

In that game, Juventude had 46% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 1 on target. The only player to score for Juventude was Danilo Boza (85'). At the other end, Botafogo got 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Júnior Santos (4'), Tiquinho Soares (9'), Danilo Barbosa (53'), Jefferson Savarino (61') and Jacob Montes (80') scored for Botafogo.

Roger Machado's Juventude have seen rewards for their attempts on goal 10 times over their preceding half-dozen outings. The comparative tally of goals that they have conceded in that time is 8.

A look at their previous results shows us that Juventude:

• are winless against Atletico PR in their last 6 matches in the league.
• have not been beaten in their last 9 league matches at home. A run that they'll hope to extend here.
