Juventude look to pull clear at the top of Série B | OneFootball

The closing match of the 25th round of Brazil’s Série B could leave Juventude even more isolated at the top of the competition. With 45 points, the team could open a four-point lead over second-placed Vila Nova, who have 44, if they beat Londrina this Tuesday (the 1st) at 7:30 p.m. at Vitorino Gonçalves Dias, in Londrina.

The Paraná side, meanwhile, is not having a good campaign and sits in 18th place with 21 points.

On Monday (31), only one Série B match was played: Fortaleza 1–1 Operário-PR, at Castelão.

On Sunday (30), Vila Nova beat Ceará 2–0 in Goiânia and moved into second place. Meanwhile, the Ceará team is another side that remained in the relegation zone, with 28 points in 17th place.

The 2026 Série B has a new feature. At the end of the first and second halves of the season, the two teams with the most points are promoted directly to the 2027 Série A. The teams finishing in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th places will play playoffs to fill the other two promotion spots.

Goiás 2 x 1 São Bernardo;
