Juventude team overview
Juventude’s form has been poor in recent weeks. They currently sit 19th in the table, having failed to win any of their last six league matches, losing four of them. Their away form is particularly concerning - just one win in 13 away games - and they average only 0.4 goals scored per away fixture. Defensively, Juventude struggle badly on the road, conceding around 2.5 goals per game, and have already allowed 35 goals in away matches this season. Their inability to keep clean sheets continues to be one of their biggest weaknesses.
There are no major widely reported absences for Juventude ahead of this game.

Prediction
Based on form and statistics, Fluminense enter this match as strong favourites. Their impressive home record, solid defensive structure, and consistent goal output give them a clear edge. Juventude’s poor away performances and lack of scoring power make it difficult to see them taking anything from this match. Although past meetings have occasionally produced draws, Fluminense’s current home momentum should prove decisive. Prediction: BTTS - NO.
Three reasons we expect BTTS - NO
- Fluminense have kept 3 clean sheets in their last 5 league matches.
- Fluminense have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 5 home matches across all competitions.
- Juventude have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 away matches across all competitions.
