Competition: Brazil Serie A
Date: Thu 05.December
Match begins: 00:00 (UTC)
Venue: Arena Conda (20089 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 19th and the visitors in 18th place.

It's no vacation for neither Chapecoense nor CSA as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

CSA have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

For Chapecoense relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. CSA are struggling to avoid relegation.

Chapecoense form and stats

With 3 Serie A wins, 5 draws and 10 defeats from their home games, Chapecoense are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Stress levels are on the rise for Chapecoense's attacking players as they have now played 193 minutes without scoring in a league game. Everaldo was their last goal scorer.

In their previous game, the manager Marquinhos Santos led his Chapecoense to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Santos. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Arena Conda. Ahead of that match, Chapecoense lost 0-1 at home to Botafogo.

The manager Marquinhos Santos will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Vasco da Gama in only four days.

Chapecoense aren't scoring a lot here at Arena Conda in the league, with only 13 goals from 18 games. Chapecoense have conceded 22 in these home matches.

CSA form and stats

CSA have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-3-13 (18 played).

The manager Jacozinho was unhappy after their last game, a Serie A match played at their home ground Estádio Rei Pelé. CSA suffered a 1-2 loss to Bahia (placed 11th). Prior to that result CSA won their away game at Cruzeiro. The scoreline was 1-0.

CSA goalkeeper Jordi had a great day against Bahia, but despite making 6 saves the loss could not be avoided.

A quick return to home after this game, as CSA are hosting São Paulo in the Serie A only four days away.

Goals are few and far between in CSA's away league games. Only 7 goals from 18 travels. In the opposite end, CSA have conceded 31 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the CSA - Chapecoense 2-0 played earlier this season.
