Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Juventus U20 average 3 per game to Jabaquara U20's 1, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Newcastle had agreed a deal worth £49m for the Switzerland international, who was a breakout star at the World Cup as he scored three goals in their run to the quarter-finals.

It is hard to look past Juventus U20 here — a 3-1 victory for the hosts should be the expected result. Whatever the outcome, the Paulista - U20 fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Fulham's Antonee Robinson could be one of those, who would likely be a cheaper alternative to Hall, who has just enjoyed a breakout season with the Magpies.
