📊 Form Guide

Juventude

WLDLLL 📉

Juventude will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 5-0 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Fortaleza.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Juventude have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Juventude have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, giving up 18 goals during that time.

Leading up to this clash, Juventude:

• haven't lost in the league to Fluminense in their last 2 matches.

Fluminense

DLWWLL

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Atlético Mineiro in Serie A action, Fluminense and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Fluminense had 45% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target. For Fluminense, the goals were scored by Agustín Canobbio (56') and Kevin Serna (88'). Atletico Mineiro had 14 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Rubens (77'), Júnior Santos (84') and Igor Gomes (94') scored for Atlético Mineiro.

Looking at their form, and Fluminense have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 8 goals in total. Defensively, Fluminense could really do with shoring things up. However, we will just have to wait and see whether the trend shall continue on in this match.

Their previous form shows that Fluminense:

• have not registered a win against Juventude in away games against them for the last 5 league matches. Not the best of away records.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Juventude

Cipriano (Hamstring injury), Matheus Babi (Muscle injury) and Nenê (Calf injury) will not be taking part for Juventude .

It looks as if Juve look set to use a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, utilising Marcão, Ewerthon, Wilker Angel, Rodrigo Sam, Alan Ruschel, Jadson, Caique Gonçalves, Emerson Batalla, Luis Mandaca, Sebastião Enio and Gabriel Taliari.

📰 Team News: Fluminense

Fluminense manager Renato Portaluppi has not got a full squad to pick from. Riquelme (Knee injury), Otávio (Achilles tendon rupture) and Germán Cano (Knee injury) are not ready for selection.

We are inclined to think that Tricolor seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Fabio, Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Juan Pablo Freytes, Gabriel Fuentes, Gustavo Nonato, Martinelli, Jhon Arias, Ganso, Agustín Canobbio and Everaldo.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Juventude will need to put in a solid display to see themselves scoring against this Fluminense side who we think will likely gain the upper hand.

Therefore, we predict a 0-1 advantage for Fluminense when the full-time whistle blows.

Should be an interesting one.
