Juventude need to beat Athletico-PR, so they must impose themselves technically on the pitch, showing commitment and playing skilled football. The team needs ball possession, tactical organisation and intensity to dominate the midfield, investing in a quick transition between the defence and the offensive system to overcome the opponent's block and score a goal. In defence, the team will need extra attention, strong defensive marking and dedicated players to not give space to the opponent and not concede goals.

Confirmed Lineup: César, Juninho, Vitor Mendes, Rafael Forster, Paulinho, Yuri, Jádson, Isidro Pitta Saldívar, Jean, Vitor Gabriel, Chico.
Coach: A. Martins Bolzan.
