The much-desired and sought-after first victory as the home team of Juventude in the Championship came in the last round. Against Fluminense, the Alviverde team overcame the flooded lawn and won 1-0. The result was not enough to leave the competition’s relegation zone. However, it rose to the first position within the Z-4 with ten points added. This Wednesday, against Paraná, Papo tries something unprecedented in the current edition of Serie A to add two consecutive triumphs.
Athletico comes from a 2-2 draw at home with Santos and ended a sequence of four straight victories – two for the Brasileiro (Cuiabá and Avaí) and two for Libertadores (Caracas and Libertad). The last defeat of the Hurricane was to Fluminense, for Série A, in the middle of May, away from home. The red-black team occupies the eighth place, with 13 points.
