Preview: 11 points divide the squads until now, Vila Nova the superior team. Can Chapecoense pull off a surprise?
- Chapecoense have won significantly more corners at home than away.
- Vila Nova have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Serie B
These teams have little in common geographically as Vila Nova have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
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 Vila Nova.
Chapecoense form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie B, Chapecoense have managed 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Chapecoense, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. Mancha was the last player to find the net.
Chapecoense faced defeat in their previous match, away at Ceara (0-2). Mendes (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.41/10. Mendes hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 21 successful passes (of 24 total).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Sampaio Correa (0-1).The manager Fuchs will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to ABC in only three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Chapecoense's 5 home games: {5 goals}, 5 conceded.
Vila Nova form and stats
As the visiting team matches, Vila Nova, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Serie B, have produced an overall stat of 2-1-1 so far.
439 minutes! That's how long the Vila goalkeeper Denis De Oliveira Aguiar Junior and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Vila Nova are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the game against Sampaio Correa (placed 12th). Attacker Pessoa got a player rating of 7.85 in the game. "Man of the match" Pessoa signed up for two assists, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ponte Preta wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.Some info for sports bettors looking to bet on only one (or no) side scoring in this fixture: This club have played 5 consecutive league games with just one or no side finding the net.
A quick return to home after this game, as Vila are hosting Guarani in the Serie B only four days away.
Vila Nova has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 7 goals from 4 games. It's not easy to score on Vila as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Chapecoense one win, one draw and Vila Nova two victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
