Juventude vs São Paulo: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on July 25, 2025

Juventude and São Paulo will face each other in the match that closes Round 16. In the last matchday, Juventude was trashed by the leader Cruzeiro, while São Paulo emerged victorious from the Majestic Derby against Corinthians.

Juventude: Form and statistics

Cláudio Tencati switched tactics for the away game against Cruzeiro, trying to close down the spaces for the opposition. The coach altered from his usual 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2, but Juventude's resistance was broken in the 39th minute with Christian's goal. Cruzeiro made it 2-0 in the 51st minute through Gabriel Barbosa, and from then on, things became very complicated for the Gaúchos. Cruzeiro scored two more goals to seal the result at 4-0. At this point, it is challenging to stop the Miners, who are full of confidence, so the Juventude players need to put this game behind them. The Caxias do Sul side remains without any points on the road, so it would be a huge surprise to do so for the first time against Cruzeiro, which is the team with the most points won at home. Juventude continues in the relegation zone with 11 points, in 18th place. It is important not to lose to São Paulo.

Juventude: Lineup

Tencati may return to his usual 4-3-3 formation after the defeat to Cruzeiro.

🔖Juventude starting lineup (4-3-3)

Gustavo – Reginaldo, Wilker, Marcos Paulo, Hermes – Jadson, Caíque, Mandaca – Veron, Gilberto, Taliari

São Paulo: Form and statistics

After six games without a victory in the league, São Paulo finally won, and against rival Corinthians no less. Hernán Crespo's team won 2-0 at home with Luciano netting both goals. The two teams were under pressure due to poor results, but São Paulo players handled their anxiety better. Corinthians had a clear chance to score through Romero in the 25th minute, but goalkeeper Rafael came out on top in the one-on-one. In the 30th minute, Luciano appeared unmarked in the area after an assist from André Silva and shot low across the goal to open the score for São Paulo. Five minutes later, the Tricolor's number 10 scored again from a cross by Wendell, increasing the lead to 2-0. In the second half, the home team managed the result and contained Corinthians' attacks. São Paulo moved up to 15th place with 16 points and seems to be on the rise. The Paulistas have yet to win away from home and will try to do it in their next game against Juventude.

São Paulo: Lineup

Oscar broke two vertebrae in the derby against Corinthians and will be out for some time. São Paulo has several key players sidelined with injuries.

🔖São Paulo starting lineup (3-5-2)

Juventude vs São Paulo match prediction 25 July 2025

Juventude is struggling this year and is in the relegation zone, occupying 18th place. São Paulo also cannot be proud of its performance so far, as it is in 15th place, far from what would be expected for one of Brazil's biggest clubs. The Paulistas recently changed their coach, and it seems that Hernán Crespo is managing to turn the team's situation around. The Tricolor beat rival Corinthians in the last round, which is always a motivating result. That victory ended a six-game winless streak, which suggests that São Paulo could perform well against Juventude. I'm going to bet on a Double Chance for São Paulo with a maximum of three goals scored in the match.
