Juventude

DLLLDL 📉

Juventude will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 1-0 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Red Bull Bragantino.

In that match, Juventude managed 52% possession and 7 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. On the other side, Red Bull Bragantino got 12 shots at goal with 5 on target. Jhon Jhon (45') scored for Red Bull Bragantino.

Juventude haven’t made the most of their chances in recent times. Their goals record stands at just 4 versus opponents over the course of their previous six matches. In those meetings, Juventude have also seen the tally of goals scored against them come to 13. Having said that, we must now wait to see if that pattern might be sustained in this upcoming game or not.

Their previous form shows that Juventude:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Grêmio in their previous 2 matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 3 matches in the league.

Grêmio

DDLDWW 🌤

Grêmio will go into the clash after a 1-0 Copa Sudamericana win to defeat Sportivo Luqueno in their last outing.

In that match, Grêmio managed 71% possession and 28 attempts at goal with 11 of them on target. At the other end, Sportivo Luqueno got 3 shots at goal with 1 on target.

A succession of very capable performances from the Grêmio defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their past 6 fixtures overall. During the same period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 4.

A look at their previous results shows us that Grêmio:

• haven't beaten Juventude when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league matches.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 12 league matches. Very poor, indeed.

ℹ️ Team News: Juventude

Cipriano (Hamstring injury) and Felipinho (Thigh problems) aren’t available for Juventude manager Cláudio Tencati.

In all likelihood, Juve may well go for a 4-3-3 formation this time, beginning the first half with Marcão, Ewerthon, Rodrigo Sam, Marcos Paulo, Alan Ruschel, Caique Gonçalves, Daniel Peixoto, Luis Mandaca, Emerson Batalla, Gilberto Oliveira and Giovanny.

🗞️ Team News: Grêmio

Grêmio boss Mano Menezes has to currently contend with reduced team options. Igor Serrote (Wrist fracture), Miguel Monsalve (Muscle injury), Mayk (Hamstring injury), João Lucas (muscular problems), João Pedro (Ankle surgery), Rodrigo Ely (Cruciate ligament tear), Edenilson (Thigh problems) and Gustavo Cuéllar (muscular problems) are not able to play.

We reckon that Tricolor dos Pampas seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Tiago Volpi, Ronald Cardoso, Wagner Leonardo, Walter Kannemann, Marlon, Dodi, Mathías Villasanti, Cristian Olivera, Franco Cristaldo, Alexander Aravena and Martin Braithwaite.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that Grêmio and Juventude may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.

Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw is looking likely to us. We’re therefore tipping a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline at full-time.
