It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Chapecoense and Sport Recife.

These teams have little in common geographically as Sport Recife have to travel 3500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Chapecoense have had a bad season and will be relegated from Serie A. Recife are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.

Chapecoense form and stats

Chapecoense's struggle is real here at Arena Condá with only 6 points collected from 18 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-6-12. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 16 attempts.

B. Cortez (own goal) was the last player to score a league goal for Chapecoense and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Chapecoense haven't scored in 194 minutes.

The Chapecoense crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Atlético GO here at Arena Condá in a Serie A match. Ignácio was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.35 out of 10. The defender Ignácio won 8 of 12 duels.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at America Mineiro.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Chapecoense as they are travelling to their away game against Fluminense in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.

Chapecoense aren't scoring a lot here at Arena Condá in the league, with only 13 goals from 18 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Chapecoense defense is not exactly impregnable. 31 goals conceded from 18 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Sport Recife form and stats

Sport Recife have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 3-4-11 (18 played). Bitter travels for Recife as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Gremio match.

Recife's last game was the home draw against Flamengo (1-1). Goalkeeper Mailson made a total of six saves, making him a hero against Flamengo. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. Midfielder Everton Felipe was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.74. Felipe hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 29 successful passes (of 34 total).

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Sao Paulo's place.
