Juventude vs Internacional Prediction: Inter must react

Juventude vs Internacional Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on September 28, 2025

Juventude and Internacional will meet in Caxias do Sul for another Gaúcho classic known as the Juvenal. Inter lost to bitter rival Grêmio in the last round and sacked Roger Machado. Argentine Ramón Díaz is the club's new coach.

Juventude: Form and statistics

Juventude lost 2-0 away to Mirassol and remains in the relegation zone, occupying 18th place. The Gaúchos were the first to create danger, forcing goalkeeper Walter to make a difficult save, but from then on, the home team took control of the game. Mirassol is a very confident side that plays without pressure, making it very difficult to stop. It was Juventude's second consecutive defeat and the third in four rounds, but it is also fair to mention that the losses were all against teams in the top 6 of the table. Thiago Carpini's men are four points behind Atlético Mineiro, the first team outside the Z4, so they urgently need wins. The next game will not be easy, as it will be against a rival from Rio Grande do Sul that has a new coach, which may motivate its players.

Juventude: Lineup

Midfielder Jadson is suspended. Carpini may make some changes to the starting lineup, especially in defense.

🔖Juventude starting lineup (4-4-2)

Jandrei – Reginaldo, Luan Freitas, Rodrigo Sam, Ruschel – Giraldo, Caíque, Mandaca, Nenê – Batalla, Taliari

⛔️Out: Wilker Ángel, Abner, Natã, Emerson (injured), Jadson (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Thiago Carpini

Internacional: Form and statistics

The Colorado lost 3-2 at home to Grêmio in an exciting derby. Inter had not lost to the rival in eight games, but this time Grêmio was superior and deserved the victory in the Grenal. The referee awarded three penalties to Inter, two of which were controversial, so it was not because of the refereeing that the home team lost. Roger Machado was fired because Internacional had long since lost confidence and solidity. Inter has conceded goals in the last 13 games, making it difficult to win. Against Grêmio, Internacional took the lead twice with goals from Alan Patrick, both from penalties, and twice allowed Grêmio to equalize shortly after. Alisson made it 3-2 for the visitors in the 62nd minute, and even playing with an extra man after Arthur was sent off in the 73rd minute, Inter was unable to at least reach 3-3. Alan Patrick had the opportunity to equalize the game in the last minute, but failed to convert the third penalty. Ramón Díaz, the new coach, has a lot of work ahead of him, but Inter's players probably needed a new leader.

Internacional: Lineup

Aguirre, Juninho, and Bernabei are suspended. Ramón Díaz will likely change the tactical system.

🔖Internacional starting lineup (4-5-1)

Rochet – Benítez, Vitão, Mercado, Victor Gabriel – Tabata, Richard, Bruno Henrique, Alan Patrick, Carbonero – Borré

⛔️Out: Ronaldo, Ivan, Bruno Gomes (injured), Aguirre, Juninho, Bernabei (suspended), Prado, (Brazil U20)

👤Head Coach: Ramón Díaz

Juventude vs Internacional match prediction 28 September 2025

This game is a Rio Grande do Sul classic between two rival clubs. Inter lost the Porto Alegre derby to Grêmio and changed coaches, so a strong reaction from the team is to be expected. Ramón Díaz could instill the confidence that Inter's players need. Juventude does not have a favorable head-to-head record against Inter and has lost the last four meetings with its old rival. Nothing is guaranteed in a game like this, but I believe Internacional will not lose. I am going to bet on a Double Chance in favor of Inter with a maximum of three goals scored in the match.
