Juventude vs Fluminense Predictions

• Both teams have scored in six of Juventude’s eight league games so far this season.
• Fluminense, meanwhile, have seen goals at both ends in six of their last eight matches in all competitions.
• With 14 goals conceded in eight games, Juventude have the worst defensive record in Serie A.

Entertainment expected in Rio Grande do Sul

Having avoided relegation from the Brazilian Serie A by just three points in 2021, Juventude have started the new campaign with just one win in eight games, and are already in dire need of results, sitting 19^th in the division. Sunday’s clash against Fluminense may not guarantee that, but goals should be certainly anticipated at the Estádio Alfredo Jaconi.

Having already shipped 14 league goals this term, the hosts have the worst defensive record in Serie A, while six of their eight games this season have seen goals at both ends, and Eduardo Baptista’s men are yet to keep a clean sheet. Furthermore, Juventude have already played four home games in 2022, failing to win any, with Palmeiras thrashing them 3-0 on their last outing on their own turf.

Fluminense, meanwhile, sit in 11^th after a mixed start to the campaign, with Fernando Diniz’s unpredictable outfit picking up two wins, three draws, and enduring two defeats in their opening eight games. Both teams have scored in six of their last eight outings, with Fluminense recently hammering Bolivian side Oriente Petrolero 10-1 in the Copa Sudamericana, but conceding seven goals across their last five league games.

Goals at both ends a prudent play

Considering the unpredictability of Fluminense, who certainly boast attacking quality in the likes of former Sevilla midfielder Ganso and Argentine forward German Cano, and the dire defensive returns of the hosts, backing both teams to score looks a strong play.

Meanwhile, Fluminense may be worth backing for a narrow 2-1 win after losing just one of their last seven games in all competitions, winning four.
