Juventude vs Fluminense: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on May 18, 2025
Juventude and Fluminense will meet in Caxias do Sul after losing in the last round. The Gaúchos lost 5-0 against Fortaleza, and the club's management sacked coach Fábio Matias. Cláudio Tencati is Juventude's new coach and has the difficult task of saving the club from relegation. Tencati is back in Série A after leading Criciúma in the top division last season. The coach from Paraná couldn't avoid the relegation of Criciúma.

The Ju was already in decline, and the third defeat in a row against Fortaleza led the club's management to terminate Flavio Matias' contract. With ten minutes to go, Juventude was 2-0 down, but after conceding the third goal, it threw in the towel and lost 5-0. The Papo is in the relegation zone and needs to gain confidence quickly to leave the tricky situation. Juventude is in 18th place with seven points and has the worst defense in the league with 20 goals conceded. Tencati has a lot of work to do to improve the team's defensive organization. The Gaúchos need to win again at the Alfredo Jaconi, where they get most of their points.
Juventude: Lineup
Cláudio Tencati will probably change a few elements in the starting eleven. Goalkeeper Gustavo has already worked with Tencati at Criciúma and should return to the Juventude goal.
🔖Juventude starting lineup (4-4-2)
Gustavo – Ewerthon, Abner, Wilker Ángel, Ruschel – Caíque, Jadson, Mandaca, Nenê – Batalla, Taliari
⛔️Out: Cipriano (injured)

Fluminense: Form and statistics
At the Arena MRV, the Tricolor das Laranjeiras opened the scoring through Canobbio in the 56th minute but ended up losing 3-2 to Atlético Mineiro The end of the game was crazy, as the Miners took a 2-1 lead in the 84th minute, but Fluminense equalized in the 88th minute through Serna. In the added time, Atlético pushed hard and scored the winning goal in the 94th minute from a fourth consecutive corner kick. The Cariocas were very close to getting a morale-boosting result, but they weren't strong enough to withstand the pressure from their opponents. Renato Gaúcho's team is in fifth place with 13 points, but the goal average of 10-10 is not impressive. Scrolling down the table, only in tenth place, we find a team with more goals conceded than Fluminense. In the Copa Sudamericana, Fluminense won 2-0 at home against Unión Española and secured a place in the competition's playoffs. If the Fluzão beats Once Caldas at home in the final round, it will finish top of the group and will qualify directly for the Round of 16.
Fluminense: Lineup
Thiago Silva didn't play against Unión Española but should return to the starting eleven. Canobbio broke a facial bone after a collision with the goalkeeper in the Copa Sudamericana match and will be out for some time. Guga, Bernal, and Lima suffered muscle injuries and are unavailable.
🔖Fluminense starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Fábio – Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Freytes, Fuentes – Martinelli, Nonato – Arias, Ganso, Keno– Everaldo
⛔️Out: Canobbio, Guga, Bernal, Lima, Cano, Otávio, Riquelme (injured)
👤Head Coach: Renato Gaúcho

Juventude vs Fluminense match prediction 18 May 2025
It's not an easy game to predict. On the one hand, Juventude has been showing great fragility in defense, but on the other, the arrival of a new coach could help the team. The Cariocas have also been inconsistent and usually struggle on the road. One factor to consider is that Fluminense hasn't beaten Juventude away for almost 20 years. I'm leaning to bet that Juventude won't lose, because history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.
