Juventude and São José-RS meet on February 9, 2026, at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi in Caxias do Sul for a decisive quarterfinal in the Campeonato Gaúcho. Juventude enters as one of the strongest sides in the competition, finishing the group stage unbeaten and securing the second-best campaign, which grants them home-field advantage. Key players include defender Sam and forward J. Pereira Coelho, each with two goals, supported by midfielder Luis Mandaca’s creativity. São José-RS, ranked fourth, relies on forwards Ronald Barcellos and Andrey, who have both scored twice, but the team has struggled to match Juventude’s consistency. Their head-to-head history is balanced, with Juventude winning 3–1 in 2025 but São José claiming a 1–0 victory in 2024. With a single-leg format, the stakes are high: if tied, penalties will decide the semifinal spot. This match epitomizes the intensity of Gaucho football, blending tradition, rivalry, and the fight for regional glory.
