Latest Juventude vs Sport Recife football review

After more than a month out of action, Juventude will return to the pitch on Monday hoping to end an eight-game winless streak in Serie A.

Despite their poor form, coach Claudio Tencati can still see the upcoming period as an opportunity for the team to regain their position, as 3 out of the next 4 matches will take place at home at Estadio Alfredo Jaconi.

All eight of Juventude's points in Serie A this season have come at home. They are now just three points adrift of safety and have a game in hand over the three teams above them: Fortaleza, Internacional and Vitoria.

During the long break, Juventude must have focused on improving their defense – their biggest weakness this season, having conceded 24 goals, the most in the league.

After 11 matches in the 2025 National Championship, the team from Caxias do Sul has only 8 points – 5 points less than the same period in the 2024 season.

Monday's match will be the seventh time Juventude have hosted Sport Recife in official competition. Remarkably, they are unbeaten in their previous six, including a 2-2 draw in 2023.

On the other side of the front line, three years after last competing in Serie A (2021), Sport Recife's situation seems to be worse than before.

The club from the state of Pernambuco are the only team yet to win a game in the league this season, having picked up just three points from 11 games – six points less than at the same stage of the 2021 season, when they were also relegated.

Only one of those three points has come from away games, while they are on a run of five consecutive defeats away from home – just one game shy of their own worst Serie A record.

Last season, Sport Recife were the second-highest scorers in Serie B with 57 goals, but since being promoted, they have the worst attack in the league with just five goals in 11 games.

They have also dropped points on several occasions despite leading in the first half, dropping as many as seven points from such games – including two away defeats.

Despite never having won away at Juventude, Sport Recife can still take some confidence having picked up points in their last three encounters here, including a 2-2 draw in 2023 where they equalised in second-half stoppage time after falling behind.
