Juventude welcome Fortaleza on Saturday, Aug 15 at 5:00 PM in a Serie B fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Juventude come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Fortaleza travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Juventude won their last outing, while Fortaleza suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Despite playing at home, Juventude face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Fortaleza have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Juventude won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Juventude a slight edge, but Fortaleza are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
