The Brasileiro Serie A season returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Juventude and Flamengo square off at the Estádio Alfredo Jaconi on Wednesday. Having failed to win the last three meetings between the sides, Roger Machado’s men will head into the midweek clash looking to get one over the Rubro-Negro.
Juventude continue to struggle for results on their travels as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against high-flying Palmeiras at the Allianz Parque last Sunday.
While Roger Machado’s men have failed to win their five Serie A away matches this season, they now return home where they are unbeaten in their five games, claiming three wins and two draws so far.
With 13 points from 10 matches, Juventude are currently 12th in the league standings but could move into ninth place with a win on Wednesday.
