Juventude are one of the four sides without a win in the Brazilian Serie A after the opening four games. On Match Day 5, they welcome giants Internacional, as they seek to end the bad run. Juventude are 19th on two points, while Internacional go into this game with seven points in ninth place. The home team’s Serie A campaign has so far produced no clean sheet and in two of the four matches played, they’ve conceded two or more goals. While defensively it has been better in the last two games, they’ve had to sacrifice a bit in attack. In the opening two matches they conceded six goals but after that they conceded just two in the most recent two games. In the four matches coming into this one, they’ve failed to score in one, and both sides have scored in three. They have one of the poorest defences so far in the league, having conceded eight times in four games.

Internacional could go top with a win here, but that is dependent on other results. They started the season with a 2-0 loss to Atletico Mineiro but it has been better from that point, especially with the team taking part in the Copa Sudamericana. They come into this game unbeaten in the last five matches and with three clean sheets in the last four. Though Internacional have drawn their last two matches, they have shown all capability to win here. They’ve failed to score in one of their last five matches but have only managed more than a goal in one of the last five matches – that came in a 2-1 win over the bottom placed Fortaleza. Ahead of this game, Internacional came from behind to draw 1-1 with Guairena in the Copa Sudamericana, and in Serie A they’ve kept clean sheets in the last two matches.
