Venue: Estádio Dr. Jorge Ismael de Biasi (16000 seats)

Novorizontino greet Chapecoense for another engaging Serie B fixture here at Estádio Dr. Jorge Ismael de Biasi.

These teams have little in common geographically as Chapecoense have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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

Novorizontino form and stats

The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts.

The home team returns to Estádio Dr. Jorge Ismael de Biasi after drawing with Londrina (placed 7th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. Midfielder Tocantins was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.41 (out of ten) in that game. Tocantins hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

0-0 away at Vila Nova before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Novorizontino perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Novorizontino as a small favourite), we find eight games. Novorizontino has won four of these, drawn three and lost one.

Chapecoense form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Serie B, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats from 5 matches.

Chapecoense have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Vagner Antonio Brandalise. It's been 194 minutes since they last conceded in Serie B.

Chapecoense delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Vasco da Gama (placed 13th) in their previous match. Midfield player Betinho was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.7/10. Betinho hit six key passes.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Gremio.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Chapecoense in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Chapecoense, zero draws and three defeats.

A new game in only four days for Chapecoense, the Serie B home match versus Cruzeiro. Busy days.

It's early days yet, but Chapecoense has scored 1 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
