Ponte Preta and Juventude meet in Serie B, with the hosts bottom of the table and fighting to avoid relegation, while the visitors are in the upper group chasing promotion. This match is therefore one where both sides need points for different reasons. Ponte Preta recently lost 0-3 to Juventude in their meeting in June, and in their last five league games they have lost as many as four. The hosts' attack is badly misfiring, scoring very little throughout the season, while Juventude have won two in a row and capped it with a 3-0 thrashing last time out. The visitors' defence also clearly concedes fewer goals. At Ponte Preta's own home there is hardly any advantage to be seen. The hosts' first half often sees goals, but once the second half comes they are more often the ones at a disadvantage. Juventude play steadily away from home and often keep the opposition out. This game is likely to be one where the visitors control the tempo and look for chances from the hosts' mistakes.
