Competition: Brazil Serie A
Date: Wed 09.October
Match begins: 23:30 (UTC)
Venue: Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo (63903 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 14th and the visitors in 20th place.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Chapecoense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Fortaleza form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Fortaleza have managed 5 wins, 1 draw and suffered 5 defeats from 11 games.

The fans are hoping that Fortaleza will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Serie A game against Sao Paulo (placed 5th). Ahead of that match, Fortaleza won a home game hosting Botafogo (1-0).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Fortaleza's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won 2 matches, drawn 0 and lost 1.

Fortaleza are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Vasco da Gama awaits in four days.

The Fortaleza fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 11 matches. From these home matches, Fortaleza have conceded only 10 goals.

Chapecoense form and stats

There's been little loot from Chapecoense's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 11 away games in the Serie A. Chapecoense only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws.

Chapecoense failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Flamengo (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-1. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Corinthians.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Chapecoense when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing 0 times, drawing 1 and winning 0 games.

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

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Chapecoense manager Marquinhos Santos has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
