In a clash that could shake up the lower part of the table, Juventude and Santos face off in the 37th and penultimate round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The ball gets rolling this Wednesday at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul (RS).
Juventude comes into the match already relegated from the Campeonato Brasileiro. In the last round, the Jaconero drew 1-1 with Bahia and saw Santos beat Sport, sealing their drop to Série B after four years in the top flight of the national tournament. The team sits in second-to-last place, with 34 points.
Additionally, Juventude is also going through a negative streak in the competition. The team from Rio Grande do Sul hasn't won in three rounds, with two draws (against Bahia and Cruzeiro) and one loss (to São Paulo).
On the other hand, Santos is still very much alive in the fight against relegation and gained a crucial boost after their 3-0 win over Sport at Vila Belmiro in the last round. Peixe sits in 16th place, with 41 points—the same as Inter, who are first in the relegation zone, but Santos is behind on tiebreaker criteria.
The Alvinegro Praiano comes in with confidence and is defending a four-game unbeaten streak in the Brasileirão, with two draws and two wins. The team drew with Mirassol and Internacional and beat Sport and Palmeiras.
It’s worth noting that Santos cannot completely eliminate the risk of relegation in this round. In other words, whether they stay in Série A or not will only be decided in the final round.
The head-to-head history points to a clear favoritism for Santos. According to data from the Ogol platform, specialized in statistics, the two teams have faced each other 25 times, with 12 wins for Peixe against just four for Jaconero, plus nine draws.
Still according to the stats, Santos also has the edge in the most recent meetings. In the last ten games, the Alvinegro Praiano has won six and drawn one, while Juventude has only managed two victories.
In their last meeting, Santos also came out on top. Peixe beat Jaconero 3-1 at Morumbis in the 18th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Neymar shone and scored twice, while Barreal added another. Wilker Ángel scored Juventude’s lone goal.

Santos heads to Alfredo Jaconi, where they will face Juventude in search of three more points. As visitors, the Alvinegro Praiano’s performance leaves much to be desired: ten losses, five draws, and three wins, with a 25.9% success rate, 18 goals scored, and 31 conceded.
On the other hand, Peixe will face the second-worst home team in the Campeonato Brasileiro. Juventude has had a poor home campaign, with seven losses, six draws, and only five wins, totaling a 42.5% success rate. They’ve scored 21 goals and conceded 23 at home.
In fact, Juventude and Santos are among the four worst teams in the second half of the Brasileirão, both with a 33.3% success rate. Jaconero also has the second-worst attack in the national tournament, with 65 goals conceded—only Sport has conceded more, with 69.
On Juventude’s side, coach Thiago Carpini will have important reinforcements. Having recovered from their respective physical issues, midfielder Peixoto, defender Wilker Ángel, and forward Gilberto should be available. A certain return is fullback Igor Formiga, who served a suspension in the last round.
Jaconero’s absences, therefore, are few. Midfielder Caíque received his third yellow card against Bahia and is suspended, while midfielder Lucas Fernandes remains in the medical department.
Santos, meanwhile, will be without center-forward Tiquinho Soares, who stayed in São Paulo to treat pain in his left knee, as well as Escobar, who is recovering from a muscle injury in his left thigh. As a result, Lautaro Díaz is expected to start up front.
Neymar, meanwhile, is available for the match. The forward trained normally this Tuesday with a protective brace on his left knee and should start. The star has an injury in the area and has been pushing through to help Peixe in this final stretch of the tournament.
