Ponte Preta desperately need points on Wednesday, Oct 7 at 2:35 AM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Ponte Preta come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). Juventude, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Ponte Preta won their last outing, while Juventude suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

In 10 previous meetings, Ponte Preta lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Ponte Preta won 0–3.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Ponte Preta a slight edge, but Juventude are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
