Juventude slipped to a third defeat on the trot away from home at Internacional in the Brazilian top flight last weekend but the hosts will be looking forward to returning to their Estádio Alfredo Jaconi for this upcoming encounter against lowly Atletico MG as the hosts are still unbeaten on home soil.
Defeats on the road at Botafogo, Flamengo and Internacional respectively have handed Juventude a poor start on their travels but results on home soil at their Estádio Alfredo Jaconi have produced an encouraging set of results.
Indeed, Juventude have collected early season home wins against the likes of Vitoria and Ceara along with gaining a point in a draw with Mirassol, while the bigger picture shows Juventude have been dealt just five losses in their last 23 home games.
Atletico MG currently occupy 17th place in the Serie A standings having collected just one win within their opening six games of this new campaign but the visitors do head into this upcoming encounter in reasonably confident mood after picking up four points from their last two games.
A 1-0 home win against Botafogo was followed up with a 2-2 draw away from home at Mirassol which will give Cuca’s side a welcome lift ahead of this upcoming trip to the Estádio Alfredo Jaconi on Tuesday.
However, the bigger picture shows Atletico MG have managed to pick up just two wins from their last 16 matches overall in the Brazilian top flight, both of which were gained on home soil at their Arena MRV but the visitors have also slipped to seven defeats along with being involved in no fewer than seven stalemates as well.
On the road, Atletico MG have failed to win their last 11 away games, slipping to seven defeats in the process.
The Betting Verdict
Juventude won the last meeting against Atletico MG 3-2 away from home and the hosts look capable of producing a result here as well.
The Pick :
Juventude 1-0 Atletico MG
