Chapecoense form and stats
Chapecoense's struggle is real here at Arena Condá with only 5 points collected from 6 Serie B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3. With Chapecoense having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Fuchs.

Farias scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 22 successful passes (of 25 total).
Before that game, the home loss against Vila Nova with the scoreline 0-1.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 14 games. Chapecoense has won 4 of these, drawn 7 and lost 3.
