Chapecoense

LWDLDW ⚖

Chapecoense, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 1-4 Serie B success versus Avaí.

In that match, Chapecoense had 50% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. For Chapecoense, the scorers were Alisson Farias (8'), Rodrigo Freitas (57') and Bruno Nazário (95', 101'). Avaí had 10 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Júlio César (90') was the scorer for Avaí.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Chapecoense have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Chapecoense have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 6 goals on the way. That pattern might not be continued into this game, though.

Analysis of their past results shows that Chapecoense:

• have not beaten Juventude in their last 3 matches in the league.
• are unbeaten in their last 9 league matches at home. A run that they'll hope to extend here.
• are without a home win in the past 2 league matches.

Juventude

LLLWLL

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Mirassol in Serie B competition, Juventude and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Juventude managed 47% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Mirassol got 15 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Chico (53') was the scorer for Mirassol.

The stats don’t lie, and Juventude have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 7 goals in all. Defensively, Juventude have been far from perfect.

Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Chapecoense boss Argel Fuchs to contend with due to a largely intact squad. Tiepo (Knee Injury) won’t play.

Due to a completely healthy group available for selection, the Juventude manager Luís Pintado doesn’t have any fitness concerns at all coming into this match.
