Our Predictions
Cruzeiro are 2nd in the table with 50 points and in top form. They have beaten Juventude in the last three meetings, including a 4-0 win in July. With Juventude low on confidence and bottom of the table, backing Cruzeiro for the win at 1.75 offers strong value.
Four of the last five meetings have finished with under 2.5 goals, and Juventude struggle to score. Their defensive setup will likely keep the score low against Cruzeiro, making under 2.5 goals at 1.73 a sensible pick.
Juventude have scored only once in their last five matches against Cruzeiro, including three shutouts. With Cruzeiro’s strong defensive record and Juventude’s lack of firepower, both teams to score 'No' at 1.80 is a logical choice.
