Juventude will look to snap their seven-game winless run in the Brasileiro Serie A when they host Goias at the Estadio Alfredo Jaconi on Sunday.
The Big Green have failed to taste victory in their last four away games across competitions and will be desperate to end this dry spell.
Juventude failed to find their feet last Sunday, bottling a two-goal lead before settling for a 2-2 draw with Coritiba.
They have now failed to win their last seven league games, claiming two draws and five losses since a 1-0 win over Fluminense in Jiune. With 12 points from 16 games, Juventude are 19th in the Serie A standings, one point above rock-bottom Fortaleza.
Meanwhile, Goias were sent crashing out of the Copa do Brasil last time out as they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Atlético Goianiense.
They now turn their attention to the Serie A, where they have managed just two wins from their last seven outings. With 20 points from 16 games, Goias are 12th in the league standings, seven points off sixth-placed Athletico Paranaense in the Copa Libertadores qualification spot.
