Esporte Clube Juventude vs Sao Paulo Prediction: It’s Never too Late for Start Winning

In the upcoming contest of the Brazil Serie A, Round 33, Juventude will take on Sao Paulo at the Estádio Alfredo Jaconi in Caxias do Sul. Going in the game, Juventude stands 20th, in the relegation spot, with just 3 wins and 21 points, whereas Sao Paulo stands 10th with 10 wins and 44 points from 32 games. This could be an interesting fixture if Club Juventude can play aggressively and turn the tables around. Playing at home will certainly be a morale booster; however, Sao Paulo will be the potential favorite for winning.

Going in the game, Juventude is coming off a draw against Atletico GO (1-1) and a defeat against Santos FC (4-1). Leveling the score against Atletico GO was a decent move, for which the credit goes to Oscar Ruiz. In the previous game, Juventude won the ball possession by 51% and had an accurate passing accuracy of 88%. With a goal-scoring average of 0.8 goals per game, Juventude will look to keep things simple and move forward with a competent approach.

Though Sao Paulo is carrying a bit of inconsistent game form, it can press a little and move up the table standings. The win over Coritiba (3-1) in the previous game was something that they could have done before as well. Jonathan Calleri and Luciano Neves ensured that their side got over the line. With a much-improved goal-scoring average of 1.4 goals per game, Sao Paulo will walk in as a favorite. Moreover, Sao Paulo hasn’t lost to Juventude in the last 6 meetings, which is a definite plus.

Though both sides are suffering from major blows, the game is expected to be a sitter. The game total is likely to be under 2.5 goals, and only Sao Paulo to score. 

• Sao Paulo to Win for 1.86
