Brazil Serie B promotion race

Entities: Maurício Barbieri · Allan Aal · Esporte Clube Juventude · Alfredo Jaconi Stadium · Lucas Alves

Overview

Juventude’s unbeaten run continued early in July, as a 2‑0 win over Cuiabá on 17 July lifted the side to 32 points and provisional second place, one point behind leaders Criciúma. The victory kept Juventude’s defensive record strong – only eight goals conceded – and maintained its reported R$25.5 million financial surplus. A subsequent clash with Botafogo‑SP on 23 July kept the club firmly in the promotion hunt.

On 28 July Juventude defeated Avaí 1‑0 at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium, with a stoppage‑time strike by Lucas Alves. The win secured the Série B runner‑up spot, moving the team to 35 points and keeping them five points behind champions Criciúma. The result also confirmed Juventude’s five wins in six matches and an unbeaten home record. The club now turns its focus to a Copa do Brasil tie against Atlético‑MG, while Avaí remains in the relegation zone.

Fortaleza’s parallel push saw a 1‑0 victory over Novorizontino on 17 July, positioning them on 31 points and briefly in second place, underscoring the tight competition for the limited promotion places. In youth football, Corinthians under‑17 midfielder Lucca Caramico matched his previous season’s tally, scoring eight goals in nine matches.
