Juventude vs Vitória Prediction: The Baianos want to break their winless streak

The next game puts two teams promoted from the Série B head-to-head. Juventude sits in 12th place with nine points and a game in hand, showing confidence and consistency in its performances. Vitória, on the other hand, is struggling and has yet to win. The Baianos have just two points from seven matches and dropped to the last place in the standings.

Juventude

In their last match, the Gaúchos picked up a significant 1-0 home win against Atlético Goianiense. Beating a direct opponent in the fight against relegation is morale-boosting for Juventude, which has so far been the best of the sides that came from the Série B. Lucas Barbosa scored the only goal of the game in the 38th minute. The Goianos had several chances to equalize but were ineffective. In their next game, Jair Ventura's team will be looking to take advantage of another home match and Vitória's unease to pick up another three points.

Vitória

The Lion drew 0-0 at the Arena Pantanal against Cuiabá in a Round 6 postponed match. A point secured on the road, generally, it's a good result, but Vitória has extended its winless streak in all competitions to ten games. In the Brasileirão, the Baianos are now seven games without a victory, and the pressure on them continues to mount. They tried to win in Cuiabá by playing offensively, shooting 13 times compared to 11 for the Mato Grosso side. Against Juventude, Vitória will once again try to get the much-desired win to boost the players' confidence needed to get out of the relegation zone.

Expert Betting Tips

Juventude has been more reliable than Vitória, who is currently bottom of the table. The White and Green hosted and beat Atlético Goianiense 1-0 in its last match. Meanwhile, Vitória drew on the road but has yet to win in the Série A, extending its winless streak to ten games in all competitions. Although the Gaúchos won their last game with some fortune, I will bet on them since they're more confident than the Baianos.
