Juventude vs Sporting Recife

It is a battle between the bottom two sides as Juventude host Sporting Recife in a Brazilian Serie A fixture.

Both teams have struggled this season and need a spark to revive their campaign. However, the hosts will be keen to make it count at home and should have the slight edge in this one.

Juventude News

It has been a poor campaign so far for Juventude, who are currently second from bottom in the table, having won just two of their 11 matches. They suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Gremio in their previous league match.

One of the issues for Juventude is a lack of cutting edge in attack, having failed to score four of their last five matches. All four fixtures for Claudio Tencati's team on this run have produced under 2.5 goals.

However, it is not all doom and gloom for Juventude, who are only three points from safety and have earned some key results at home this season. They are unbeaten in four of their last six league matches in front of their fans, beating Ceará and Vitoria while also holding out for a 1-1 draw with Fluminense.

Sporting Recife News

Sporting Recife are even worse than the hosts as they are currently at the foot of the table, having failed to pick up a win this season. They have lost eight of their 11 matches and were beaten 1-0 by Mirassol in their previous league fixture before losing on penalties to Ceará in the Copa do Brasil following a 0-0 draw.

Daniel Paulista’s team have had similar problems with the hosts, having also struggled in attack, failing to score in four of their last five matches. Four of those fixtures have produced under 2.5 goals, while the last four matches have offered up under 1.5 goals in both halves.

Sporting Recife have also been poor travellers this season, having had no joy away from home so far. They have lost all five of their Serie A matches on the road this term.

Head to Head

Juventude and Sporting Recife have picked up two wins each and one draw from their last five matches. Both teams battled to a 2-2 draw in the last Serie A meeting back in 2022.

Verdict

Juventude v Sport Recife

Both teams have struggled with a lack of cutting edge in attack, and with Juventude playing out under 2.5 goals in four of their last five matches, a repeat is on the cards here. There have also been under 1.5 goals in both halves in four of Sporting Recife’s last five matches, and a similar pattern is expected.

While both teams have struggled this term, Juventude will come into this clash slightly more confident, having done some good work at home lately. They should have the upper hand over Sporting Recife, who have lost all five of their away matches this season.
