Fluminense face pressured Juventude after heavy defeat, crisis | OneFootball

The next match for Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship will be against Juventude. The team from Caxias do Sul will arrive for the match experiencing its worst moment in the competition, stuck in the relegation zone and under pressure for an immediate reaction. In the first round, in a match played on May 18, the two teams drew 1-1.

Last Saturday (10/11), the team from Rio Grande do Sul went to São Paulo and suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Palmeiras. The negative result extended their streak of poor results in the tournament.

The situation for Juventude is alarming. The club languishes in 19th position on the table, with only 23 points in 27 games, and has not won in five matches, the worst current streak in Serie A. During this period, there were three losses and two draws, with a timid offensive performance (only three goals scored) and an extremely vulnerable defense (11 goals conceded).

The campaign as visitors is another critical factor. Juventude has the second worst away performance in the championship, earning only five points in 13 games away from home.

For Fluminense, the scenario presents an opponent desperate for points to try to escape Serie B, but carrying the weight of a bad phase, especially with a defense that has been breached 52 times in the competition.
