CRB form and stats

The Serie B stats playing at home this season for CRB are 6-8-2 (wins-draws-losses). CRB has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Barioni and the players.

Stress levels are on the rise for CRB's attacking players as they have now played 326 minutes without scoring in a league game. Longuine was their last goal scorer.

CRB lost their last game at Ituano (placed 6th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Valoura (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.45/10. Valoura hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 49 successful passes (of 56 total).

Prior to that, an away loss at Vila Nova.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how CRB have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 16 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 13 and lost 1.

Not much happening? Looking at this team's last 11 league matches, 9 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).

There will be little rest for CRB after this match as they are travelling to Tombense for a Serie B game in only four days.

From these home matches, CRB have conceded only 11 goals.

Chapecoense form and stats

The visitors are W4-D6-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Chapecoense's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Chapecoense won their last game, 3-1 versus Bahia played at home. Defender Maílton was the best team player with a rating of 8.42. Maílton scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 11 of 19 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Criciúma wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Chapecoense playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 1 Chapecoense win, 1 draw and 6 defeats.

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

The attacking power of Chapecoense when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 16 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Chapecoense as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

This was the scoreline when the participants faced each other previously this campaign; Chapecoense - CRB 1-2. Last three meetings involving these squads: CRB won one, Chapecoense were winners in two and we saw zero draws. two games with more than 2,5 goals, one match with less than 2,5 goals.
