Juventude

DDWWLL ⚖

Juventude will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 1-0 Copa do Brasil loss in their previous game against Maringá.

It has been seldom in recent games where Juventude have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Juventude have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 8 goals in the process.

Vitoria

DWDDWL

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Náutico in Copa do Brasil competition, Vitoria and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

Buiú (36') scored for Náutico.

For 5 of the past 6 games featuring Vitoria, a notably low volume of goals have gone in between them and opposing sides. The overall average goals scored per game within that spell is just 2.17, with the number of goals averaged by Leão da Barra equalling 1.17. We will have to see whether or not that trend can be continued on in this game.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A glance at their prior head-to-head meetings stretching back to 14/09/2020 shows us that Juventude have won 1 of them and Vitoria 2, with the tally of drawn games being 3.

In all, 7 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 3 for Juve and 4 being from Leão da Barra. That’s an average goals per game figure of 1.17.

The previous league match featuring the two was Serie A match day 27 on 21/09/2024 when it finished Vitoria 1-0 Juventude.

On that day, Vitoria had 36% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 2 on target. The scorer was Gustavo Silva (45').

Juventude had 11 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target.

The referee was Bráulio da Silva Machado.

📋 Team News: Juventude

Cipriano (Hamstring injury), Felipinho (Arm injury), Daniel Peixoto (Cruciate ligament injury), Rodrigo Sam (Pubic bone bruise), Caíque Gonçalves (Cruciate ligament injury) and Gilberto (Hamstring injury) aren’t available for Juventude manager Fábio Matias.

In our view, Juve should line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one with Marcos Miranda, Ewerton, Abner, Adriano Martins, Alan Ruschel, Jadson, Daniel Giraldo, Emerson Batalla, Mandaca, Enio and Bill.

📰 Team News: Vitoria

From our viewpoint, Leão da Barra seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Gabriel, Claudinho, Lucas Halter, Neris, Jamerson, Ronald, Ricardo Ryller, Gustavo Mosquito, Pepe, Wellington Rato and Janderson.

🧠 Prediction

Vitoria will need to apply a lot of pressure to score against this Juventude team who we reckon will do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 1-0 win for Juventude when the referee blows for full-time.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
