CSA will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 13 points behind Chapecoense.
It's no vacation for neither CSA nor Chapecoense as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Chapecoense have to travel 3300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
