Stay tuned for in-depth analyses of their recent games and historical matches to help you make your betting choices.
Juventude Results
Juventude has had a hard time being consistent in the 2025 Serie A season. They are currently in 19th place with only eight points from 11 games. But their home form gives them a little hope because all of their points have come at Estadio Alfredo Jaconi. They may have been able to fix their weak defense over a month-long break, during which they gave up a league-high 24 goals.
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result | Outcome |
| 01/06/25 | SA | Juventude vs Gremio | 0-2 | L |
| 27/05/25 | SA | Bragantino vs Juventude | 1-0 | L |
| 18/05/25 | SA | Juventude vs Fluminense | 1-1 | D |
| 10/05/25 | SA | Fortaleza vs Juventude | 5-0 | L |
| 06/05/25 | SA | Juventude vs Atletico-MG | 0-1 | L |
Juventude’s recent results show that they have trouble defending, as they gave up goals in every match listed. They only got one point during this time, a 1-1 tie at home against Fluminense, which shows they can be tough. But losing badly to Fortaleza (5-0) and Gremio (2-0) shows that they have weaknesses, especially against better teams. The fact that the squad has only scored one goal in their last three games shows that they don’t have a strong offensive. Home field advantage could be important because all eight of their points this season have come from games at Estadio Alfredo Jaconi.
Sport Recife Results
Sport Recife’s return to Serie A has been dismal, with no wins and only three points from 11 matches. Their attacking output is the league’s worst, with just five goals scored. The team’s recent break may have provided a chance to regroup, but their away form remains a significant concern.
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result | Outcome |
| 10/07/25 | COP | Sport Recife vs Ceara | 0-0 (pen. 2-4) | D/L |
| 01/06/25 | SA | Mirassol vs Sport Recife | 1-0 | L |
| 25/05/25 | SA | Sport Recife vs Internacional | 1-1 | D |
| 17/05/25 | SA | Ceara vs Sport Recife | 2-0 | L |
| 11/05/25 | SA | Sport Recife vs Cruzeiro | 0-4 | L |
Sport Recife’s results are bad: they haven’t won any games and tend to give up goals easy, especially when they play away from home. Their 1-1 tie with Internacional demonstrates that they can fight, but their 4-0 loss against Cruzeiro reveals that their defense is inadequate. They haven’t been able to score more than five goals in 11 games, which shows how little of an attacking danger they are. They are especially bad on the road, having lost five games in a row. This pattern makes it look like they will have a hard time ending their losing record at Estadio Alfredo Jaconi.

The past between Juventude and Sport Recife gives this match a lot of meaning. Their past meetings have generally been close, with few points scored. Juventude has a good record at home against Recife, having won all six of their last competitive home games against them.

| 02/12/07 | SA | Juventude vs Sport Recife | 2-1 |
Juventude has never lost a competitive match at home against Sport Recife. Their previous meeting at Estadio Alfredo Jaconi ended in a 2-2 tie. But Sport Recife’s 3-0 triumph in 2023 indicates that they can be very good when they are at their best. The fact that most meetings don’t score a lot of points implies that both parties are being careful. In the last five games, both teams have scored goals in three of them. This history suggests that the game will be quite close and there won’t be many chances to score.

Juventude vs Sport Recife Match Prediction 2025
Both Juventude and Sport Recife need points badly, but their problems foreshadow a cautious, low-scoring game. Juventude has a small edge because they play at home at Estadio Alfredo Jaconi, where they have gotten all of their points. Still, their defense (24 goals allowed) and Sport Recife’s failure to score (five goals in 11 matches) suggest that the game won’t have much forward flare. Juventude and Sport Recife are both missing important players, such Gustavo and Cipriano for Juventude and Ze Roberto and Denis for Sport Recife. This makes both teams’ quality even worse. Historical confrontations, like the 2-2 draw in 2023, demonstrate that the games are competitive but not very high-scoring. Juventude has never lost at home to Recife in six competitive matches.
Sport Recife has lost five straight games on the road and has dropped seven points from winning positions, which shows how weak they are on the road. Juventude has been tough at home, even though they haven’t won in eight games. They recently drew with Fluminense. The month-long vacation may have helped both teams fix tactical problems, but neither team possesses the attacking quality to win easily. The Juventude vs Sport Recife odds reflect this balance, with a draw being a likely outcome due to both teams’ conservative approaches and lack of creativity. We predict a 0-0 stalemate, as both sides prioritize avoiding defeat over risking an open game.
