Bottom-placed Juventude will host Ceara in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A on Monday.
Juventude have only picked up two wins from their opening 17 games and sit three points off nearest rivals Fortaleza. Unless they have a serious turnaround in fortunes in the second half of the season, relegation looks inevitable. Their last win came in early May when they beat Internacional at home.
Ceara, meanwhile, will be eyeing another win after beating Coriba 2-1. That was their third win in four games in the division, catapulting them to the top half of the stadings. They currently occupy one of the Copa Sudamericana places in the division.
