Santos team overview
After they won Serie B last season, Santos returned to the strongest level of Brazilian football. They had expectations for a mid-table position, but currently, Cleber Xavier's team is in the drop zone with one position behind safety. The last few weeks were troubling for Santos as they won only one point in the previous three matches. In the last game, Santos played 2-2 on the road against Sport Recife.
Santos' Tomas Rincon and Gonzalo Escobar received red and yellow cards that will keep them sidelined for the game against Juventude. They will join already sidelined Guilherme and Willian Arao, who are out due to injuries.

Juventude team overview
Juventude avoided relegation last season, but they got even worse since then, and now, they will need an excellent next few months to stay in Serie A. Currently, Juventude are four points behind safety. What worries fans is that the team is, at the same time, the second-worst attacking, but also the worst defending team in the competition. Juventude lost the last three matches. In the previous game, they lost 3-0 on the road against Bahia.
Juventude's Hudson received a red card in the previous match and will not play in the upcoming clash against Santos. Rafael Bilu and Rodrigo Sam will not play due to injuries. The good news for Santos is that Caique Goncalves, Gilberto, and Marcos Paulo will return after their suspensions.

Prediction
Santos and Juventude are among the worst attacking teams in the competition, with 15 and 10 goals, respectively. Although both sides have had some high-scoring matches lately, it doesn't seem realistic that we will see more than two goals in the upcoming clash at Estadio Urbano Caldeira. Our prediction: Under 2.5 goals.
3 Reasons why we shouldn't expect more than two goals in this match
- Santos scored four goals in the last four matches
- Juventude scored only two goals in the previous six games
- There were two or fewer goals in five of the last seven Juventude matches
Main prediction -
Under 2.5 goals
