Juventude take on the visitors Santos in the round 12 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 15th at Estadio Alfredo Jaconi (Caxias do Sul).
Juventude were able to finish high enough in Serie B in 2020 to return to Serie A. As a result, the newcomer was good enough to score 40 points last season - 2 more than Gremio with Baya, and, the main thing was that it was enough to take the “saving” 16th place. True, in the new season it was not only impossible to improve - on the contrary, now the “parrots” are going even lower. Only the main outsider, Fortaleza, have worse results. The first win was taken only in the 7th round, against "Avai". Then there was a good segment, with a draw against Fortaleza and win against Fluminense. But in the last two rounds of the championship there were defeats against strong opponents: 1-3 at home to Atlético Paranaense and 0-2 away from Corinthians. Now, after 11 rounds, Juventude have 10 points. However, Botafogo, who are 16th, have only 2 points more.

Santos cannot win the league for a very long time, as for such an ambitious and popular team. Last season the ambitious club only closed the top 10 of Serie A, with 50 points after 38 rounds. So now it just turns out to stay more or less at the same level. Also, there was a difficult struggle in the Cope Sudamerican, but the Brazilians were able to win the group, taking 1st place only thanks to additional indicators. In the championship, after a good start, with 7 points after 3 rounds and 3 victories after 5 rounds, they could not beat anyone. The next 6 rounds brought only 4 points, however, draws have already been recorded three times in a row, with Atletico Paranaense (2-2), Internacional and Atletico Mineiro (1-1 each). As a result, now the wards of Fabian Bustos have 14 points in 11 matches and a modest 11th place. But Fluminense, which is in 8th position, has the same 14 points.
Juventude lost Filipe Alves due to injury. At Santos, Lucas Pires received a red card, while Marcos Leonardo and Melo received calls to the national teams. After return to Serie A, Juventude were able to play well with Santos. On the road there was 0-0, at home they defeated Santos 3-0. Bookmakers consider the pair to be fairly equal in strength. But Juventude is very weak, so it is worth picking the victory of the visitors with 0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Santos to win with 0.0 handicap.
