Corinthians will host Juventude at the Neo Quimica Arena on Thursday in the second leg of their 2024 Copa do Brasil quarterfinal clash. The home side have had their struggles in recent games but returned to winning ways last time out, with a 2-1 league win over Flamengo.
They will be looking to take confidence from that result when they return to cup action this week.
They have appeared at this stage of the competition in the last two seasons, beating Atletico Goianiense and America Mineiro respectively and will be looking to extend that streak on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Juventude are enjoying an encouraging run of form and will hope they can replicate similar showings in the domestic cup this week. They played out a goalless draw against Cuiaba in their last match and could have no major complaints about the result after a dour performance on the road.
The visitors, however, have a foot in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil after picking up a 2-1 win in the first-leg clash last month and only need to avoid defeat this week to advance.

- There have been 32 meetings between Corinthians and Juventude. The hosts have won 13 of those games while the visitors have won one fewer. There have been seven draws between the two teams.

Corinthians vs Juventude Prediction
Corinthians' latest result ended a four-game winless streak and they will be looking to kick on from that this week. They are undefeated in their last 10 games at the Neo Quimica Arena and will be looking to overturn their first-leg result on Thursday.
Juventude are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and will aim to bounce back here. However, they have struggled on the road of late and could see their cup tie this week decided on penalties.
Prediction: Corinthians 2-1 Juventude
