Fortaleza vs Juventude Prediction & Betting Tips - Brasileirão Serie A

Prediction published on 27/05/2022, 11:35  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Fortaleza have so far been the poorest in the Brazilian Serie A and as they prepare to host Juventude they will be gunning for their first league win of the season. Fortaleza go into this game bottom of the Serie A table with one point from six matches while Juventude have six points, in 18th place. Fortaleza are doing better in Copa Libertadores than in domestic action; they have qualified for the quarters of the continental competition but have failed to match the same in Serie A. They are coming from a 4-3 win over Colo Colo in the Copa Libertadores, which was their third win in five matches. In the six league matches they’ve played this season, Fortaleza have suffered five losses, only taking one point, from a 1-1 draw with Sao Paulo. They haven’t scored more than a goal in their six league matches so far.

Juventude aren’t on a very good run either but they will have the advantage of having rested more days, as they had no match in midweek. The visitors have managed just one win this season, against newly promoted Avai. They have no clean sheet in their last nine matches and in six of the nine matches, both teams have scored. Right before this game, they lost 3-0 to Palmeiras, and they have also struggled away from home, winning just one of seven Serie A games. Still away from home, they have managed just one clean sheet in the last 20 matches. Both teams have scored in their last four away games. Juventude are winless in their last six matches with Fortaleza; they’ve lost three in the process and are winless in the last six meetings with Juventude.
