Juventude vs Corinthians Prediction: Can Carpini save Juventude?

Juventude vs Corinthians: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 12, 2025

Thiago Carpini is the new boss of Juventude and will make his debut against Corinthians at home. The coach managed to save Vitória from relegation last season and will try to do the same at the Caxias do Sul club. This is a return for Carpini, who guided Juventude to promotion to the Série A in 2023, a feat so impressive that São Paulo signed him shortly afterwards.

Juventude: Form and statistics

Assistant coach Gerson Ramos led the Ju against Santos at the Morumbi but was unable to prevent another defeat. The Gaúchos played well and were superior in the first half, but Santos scored two goals in quick succession, an advantage that did not reflect what had happened on the pitch. Neymar in the 37th minute and Barreal in the 40th minute put Santos 2-0 ahead. However, just before halftime, Wilker Ángel scored with a header after a corner kick by Hermes, reducing the deficit. In the second half, Santos played defensively, waiting for opportunities to counterattack, while Juventude tried to equalize. The Jaconeros had a couple of chances but were not effective, and Santos made it 3-1 through Neymar's penalty in the 80th minute. Juventude is in 19th place with 11 points and has lost its last four games. The situation is complex, and Thiago Carpini has a significant amount of work ahead of him.

Corinthians: Form and statistics

The Timão had an intense week, crowned with an away victory over rival Palmeiras in the Copa do Brasil. Corinthians had won 1-0 at home in the first leg and confirmed its place in the quarterfinals with a 2-0 victory at the Allianz Parque. Dorival Júnior's men's task was made easier after Palmeiras midfielder Moreno received a red card in the 15th minute. Matheus Bidu in the 43rd minute and Gustavo Henrique in the 59th minute scored the goals, both from set pieces. A victory of this magnitude is very motivating for the players and also for the fans, who have suffered a lot in recent years. A few days earlier, Corinthians had drawn 1-1 at home with Fortaleza, in a game in which Dorival rested some of his best players so that they would be in better physical condition to take on Palmeiras. The Paulistas avoided defeat against Fortaleza in the 94th minute with a goal from Carrillo. It was the third consecutive draw in the league for Corinthians, currently in 13th place with 22 points.

Corinthians: Lineup

Depay and Carrillo sustained injuries and will be sidelined for an extended period. The Dutch striker's recovery is expected to take at least a month, while the Peruvian midfielder is unlikely to play again this season.

🔖Corinthians starting lineup (4-4–2)

Hugo Souza – Matheuzinho, Gustavo Henrique, André Ramalho, Matheus Bidu – Raniele, Martínez, Bidon, Garro – Romero, Yuri Alberto

⛔️Out: Depay, Carrillo, Hugo, Maycon (injured)

👤Head Coach: Dorival Júnior

Juventude vs Corinthians match prediction 12 August 2025

No team has conceded more goals in the league than Juventude, which is usually a red flag for a relegation candidate. New coach Thiago Carpini usually organizes his teams well defensively, so let's see what he can do. The coach saved Vitória from relegation last year and will try the same again with Juventude. Corinthians is boosted by its victory over Palmeiras in the Copa do Brasil and is the favorite. However, I'm going to bet on a draw, believing that Carpini can restore confidence to the Gaúchos.
