Juventude will invite Sao Paulo to Estadio Alfredo Jaconi in the Brazilian Serie A on Thursday. Both teams have three wins to their name, though the visitors have a five-point lead over Juve, having played two more games.
Alviverde registered their first win since April earlier this month against Sport, but failed to build on that form and suffered a 4-0 away loss to league leaders Cruzeiro last week.
The visitors returned to winning ways after four games last week, defeating fierce rivals Corinthians 2-0 at home. Luciano da Rocha Neves bagged a three-minute brace in the first half, with Wendell and André Silva providing the assists.

Juventude vs Sao Paulo Prediction
Alviverde have won just one of their last 10 league games, failing to score in six. They are winless in their last five home games in this fixture, playing out three draws, and will look to improve upon that record.
Tricolor Paulista registered their first league win since May last week and also kept their first clean sheet in eight league games. They have won just one of their last four league games in this fixture, with that triumph registered away from home in 2022.
Considering the current form of the two teams and the visitors' winless away record in the league this season, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.
