Fluminense vs Juventude Prediction and Betting Tips | August 7th 2024

Fluminense play host to Juventude at the Estadio do Maracana in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 on Wednesday. Having suffered a 3-2 loss in last week’s reverse leg, Mano Menezes’ hosts will head into the midweek clash looking to overturn their one-goal deficit and book their spot in the quarter-finals.

Despite the defeat in the first leg, a rejuvenated Fluminense side continued their surge from the Serie A relegation zone in the league, as they picked up a 1-0 victory over Bahia on Sunday.

Menezes’ side have now won four consecutive league matches, scoring four goals and keeping four clean sheets to move into 17th place in the table, just one point away from safety.

Juventude, on the other hand, failed to find their feet in the league as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Corinthians at the Neo Química Arena last weekend.

Jair Ventura’s men have now failed to win their last five Serie A matches, losing twice and claiming three draws since a 3-0 victory over Gremio on July 7.

While Juventude will travel to the Maracana looking to continue from where they left off in the first leg, recent results on the road offer little optimism as they have failed to win 10 of their last 11 away matches since the start of April.
