Fresh off the back of an impressive display in the Copa do Brasil, Juventude visit the Neo Química Arena to face Corinthians in Brasileiro Serie A action on Sunday. Jair Ventura’s men have failed to win their eight away matches in the league this season and will head into the weekend looking to end this dire run.
Corinthians played out a somewhat disappointing goalless draw with Gremio in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 on Thursday.
Before that, Ramón Díaz’s side fell to a 2-1 defeat against Atletico Mineiro on July 28, which saw their three-match unbeaten run across all competitions come to an end.
However, with Thursday’s result, Corinthians are now unbeaten in six straight home games across all competitions and will look to extend this fine run on Sunday.
Elsewhere, Juventude turned in an impressive attacking display last time out as they picked up a 3-2 victory over Fluminense in the first leg of their Copa do Brasil last-16 clash on home turf.
Ventura will hope the cup results can serve as a springboard for a fine run of form as his side return to action in Serie A, where they have failed to win their last four matches, picking up just two draws and losing twice since a 3-0 victory over Gremio on July 7.
With 19 points from 20 matches, Juventude are currently 15th in the league standings, two points and two places behind Sunday’s hosts.
Corinthians vs Juventude Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- With seven wins from the last 19 meetings between the sides, Corinthians hold a slight upper hand in the history of this fixture.
- Juventude have picked up one fewer win in that time, while the spoils have been shared on six occasions.
- Corinthians are unbeaten in their last six home games across all competitions, claiming two wins and four draws since mid-June.
- Juventude are one of just two sides without a Serie A away win this season, having lost six and picked up just two draws in their eight away games so far.
Corinthians vs Juventude Prediction
Buoyed by their cup victory over Fluminense, Juventude will head into the weekend with renewed confidence as they look to secure their first Serie A away win of the season.
However, Corinthians have been tough to crack at the Neo Química Arena this season and we predict they will come away with all three points in front of their home supporters.
Prediction: Corinthians 2-1 Juventude
