The team has now gone 29 games without conceding a goal, with 22 of those games being in Series B. This achievement has earned Juventude the top spot in the ranking among the 40 teams in the competition. Palmeiras, the fourth-best team in the top-10, has 25 games without conceding a goal, but has played two more games this season than Juventude.
Juventude's impressive defensive record is largely due to its performance in Series B, where the team has gone 22 out of 32 rounds without conceding a goal. The team has been breached 19 times in the competition, the lowest number among the two national divisions.
The team's current defensive run is its best since 2003, when the points system was introduced in Series A.
