EC Juventude
- EC Juventude are in the relegation zone with 22 points.
- Thiago Carpini has returned to Juventude to steady the ship and bring a pragmatic approach to the squad, which seems to be working as the hosts have been defending much better and looking to stifle opponents.
- They are still leaking goals, conceding nine in their last five games, and have scored only twice in that run too with Gabriel Bill and Matheus Babi their main goal scorers this year.
- The team is structured around Nenê, who Carpini brought back into the side after reappointment, and the veteran playmaker has been a good servant to the cause, especially on set pieces.
- Juve have lost three and drawn two in their last five, which doesn’t leave them much margin for error in this contest as they are on the back of Bragantino in the Serie A table. Our EC Juventude vs Bragantino Red Bull betting tips suggest this will be a closely-fought encounter given recent form.
Bragantino
- Bragantino are having a mixed season and need points in their bid to stay in the international spots.
- Bragantino have the attacking quality to win this game with Jhon Jhon providing their focal point up front and a key attacking threat for the visitors in 2025.
- Fernando Seabra’s men play high-octane soccer, pressing aggressively and recovering the ball in attacking areas to play vertically.
- The wet and cool weather that could descend on Alfredo Jaconi on Monday would suit the home team and their approach more, but we are taking the slightly better quality and greater motivation of Bragantino to edge this out. In fact, our EC Juventude vs Bragantino Red Bull betting tips favor the visitors for this clash.
