The visitors of the upcoming match take 15th place in the standings with 28 points. Juventude is in the safe zone but outranks the nearest pursuer from the red zone by only one point. In the current championship, the Green and Whites scored 24 goals and conceded 30 times. In the last ten matches, they suffered three defeats and gained one victory and six draws. Previous rounds ended for Juventude in 1-1 draws against America Mineiro, Palmeiras, and Corinthians and defeats to Sport Recife (3-1) and Athletico Paranaense (2-1).
