Chapecoense form and stats
Chapecoense's struggle is real here at Arena Condá with only 11 points collected from 12 Serie B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-5-5.
Chapecoense's last game was hosting Brusque (placed 15th) and winning 1-0. What a relief, as that was the first three points in the league after playing, but not winning, six consecutive games. Chapecoense goalkeeper Saulo did an outstanding job against Brusque with seven saves, so vital to securing the victory. The goalie Saulo was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.8 out of ten. Saulo topped it up with a clean sheet.
A 1-1 draw away before that, with Cruzeiro the opponent.This is expected to be a close game, with Chapecoense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Chapecoense as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Chapecoense has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.
