Juventude and Vasco da Gama will meet in Caxias do Sul for a postponed Round 14 match. Both teams achieved significant results last weekend and are feeling confident.

Juventude: Form and statistics

The Ju finally picked up its first point away from home, and did so in epic fashion. Juventude had defeated Corinthians at home in the previous round, in coach Thiago Carpini's debut, so there was hope for a good result against Vitória in Salvador. However, the game did not start well for the Jaconeros. In the 10th minute, Cipriano received a red card for grabbing Aitor Cantalapiedra as he was heading towards the goal, and from then on, Juventude had to play with 10 men. Renato Kayzer scored two goals for Vitória in the 32nd and 46th minutes, and all seemed lost for the Gaúchos. Nothing is guaranteed in football, though, and the home team was also down to 10 men in the 66th minute after Neris hit an opponent in the face while trying to kick the ball. Igor Formiga headed in to make it 2-1 in the 81st minute following a corner kick, and Carpini's men began to believe that a draw was possible. A few minutes later, A few minutes later, Lucas Arcanjo made an extraordinary save after a shot by Nenê, denying the equalizer. The pressure from the visitors was immense and, incredibly, in the 96th minute, VAR spotted a handball by a Vitória player inside his area. The referee awarded a penalty to Juventude, and veteran Nenê made no mistake. Juventude moved up to 18th place and gained a lot of confidence.

Vasco da Gama: Form and statistics

The Brasileirão once again proved to be one of the most exciting and unpredictable leagues in the world, and last weekend, fans at the Morumbi witnessed a historic match. The Giant crushed Santos 6-0 in one of the most unexpected results of the season. In the previous round, Santos had defeated second-placed Cruzeiro away from home, and in the following game lost by a six-goal margin at home to Vasco da Gama, a team that was in the relegation zone. At halftime, Fernando Diniz's side was winning 1-0 with a goal from Lucas Piton. In the second half, Santos quickly tried to equalize and had two clear chances to do it. Guilherme shot over the bar when he was in a privileged position to score, and Barreal hit the post shortly after. However, the Cariocas made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute through David, causing the Santos team to collapse. By the 60th minute, Vasco da Gama was already winning 5-0, and Santos fans began to leave the stadium. Coutinho was the man of the match with two goals, clearly winning the duel with Neymar, who cried at the end of the game after suffering the biggest defeat of his career. Vasco broke its five-game winless streak and moved out of the relegation zone.
