It's early days in the Serie B and both Cuiabá and Chapecoense are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Serie B game only four days ago.

Chapecoense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
