Juventude vs Goias Prediction: Goias in Decent Match Form and Momentum

Juventude will be up against Goias in the upcoming fixture of Brazil Serie A. With Brazil Serie A getting more intense, teams are gearing up for opportunities and windows of success coming their way. According to the current standings, Goias stands 12th with 20 points and 5 wins from its 16 games so far. Whereas, Juventude stands 19th with 12 points and just 2 wins from its 16 games played. There’s a striking difference between the standings of both the teams, and for tomorrow’s game, I will back Goias to win and jump a few places over. 

Juventude - Looking for a Comprehensive Win (DLDLL)

Juventude will be feeling hungry for a win as they haven’t managed to win a single game from its last five played. Coming in the game, Juventude tied the game against Coritiba (2-2) and lost to Atletico MG (1-2). Juventude’s goal for the current season is similar to how they nearly avoided relegation in 2021; however, they now hold 19th place in the Brazilian top flight, with the midway mark rapidly approaching. Juve’s most recent missed opportunity to win all three points was last weekend against Coritiba, where they allowed a two-goal lead to slip at Estadio Couto Pereira, resulting in goals from Paulo Henrique and Ricardo Bueno, the latter from the penalty spot, only good for a 2-2 draw.

Juventude’s Expected Lineup

Cesar; Kelven, Forster, Mendes; Alves, Jean, Jadson, Marlon, Henrique; Ruiz, Bueno

Goias - Favorites to Win (LWLWD)

Goias won the eight-goal thriller when these clubs last met at Estadio Alfredo Jaconi four years ago, but since then, they have gone through both promotion and relegation during a difficult time at the club. Despite a surprise victory last week, the Goiania team is still only two points ahead of danger despite a good start to life back in the elite. After defeating probable championship contenders Athletico Paranaense last Saturday, the Esmeraldino improved to 12th place in the competitive Serie A rankings, moving up from 17th. Goias has had success since drawing the away leg of their Copa do Brazil rivalry match against Atletico GO at the end of last month.

Goias’s Expected Lineup

Tadeu; Souto, Reynaldo, Caetano; Diego, Caio, Sales, Bastos, Danilo; Vinicius, Raul

Expert Betting Tips

Juventude has seven goals scored at home compared to Goias’ six on the road. Thus, a scoreless draw may be in the cards. Home field advantage is unlikely to affect the outcome because Juventude has only one victory and five points at Estadio Alfredo Jaconi. The game total is expected to be somewhere around 3 or 4, depending on Juventude’s gameplay. I will be backing Goias to win or either the game to end in a close draw.
