Juventude vs Sao Paulo Prediction

Juventude Form

Aming to remain unbeaten, Juventude managed to beat Internacional 1-2, before drawing 1-1 with Internacional. Most recently, they had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Atletico MG. Juventude managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the Serie A, where they also drew twice and lost none. They scored ten goals and conceded three times.

Juventude had their sights set on the Serie A title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Sao Paulo Form

In the last three matches, Sao Paulo beat Athletico Paranaense 1-2, won 2-0 against Red Bull Bragantino, and lost 2-1 against Atletico MG. Sao Paulo won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Serie A. The scoreline from these matches says ten goals conceded and nine scored.

Ambitions are high for Sao Paulo, and winning the title is still possible, but they need to raise their level to achieve the highest prize.

In current form, we favour Sao Paulo to claim a win, when they challenge Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium. We doubt, the home side is able to stop the visitors.

Juventude fought their way to one wins and three points from their last four games against teams inside the top six. They were on target four times in these matches, but also let in 11 goals. Juventude are looking at a record of five wins, five draws and five defeats in the Serie A this season. Sao Paulo enjoy a record of eight wins, three draws and five defeats in the Serie A.
