Chapecoense vs Remo prediction: team news, lineups, expert analysis

Chapecoense vs Remo: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Santa Catarina has never truly recovered since the tragic plane crash and ultimately ended up in Serie B. They only returned last season, and even then, only by finishing a modest third. Their performances in the Brasileirao have been uninspiring, especially since late March. Even against Mirassol, they only managed a draw. In the cup against Botafogo, however, after losing 0-1 away, they responded at home with two unanswered goals.
The team from Belem achieved back-to-back promotions, moving impressively from the third division to Serie A—albeit, thanks in large part to expanded “quota” spots, as they finished in fourth place. Against stronger competition, things didn’t go well at first. But they surprised many by beating Botafogo, and even managed a 1-1 draw with league leaders Palmeiras. They also won their cup tie with Bahia.
The rookie team from Chapeco scores about one goal per match but concedes an average of 1.93. The other outsider, Remo, has slightly better stats: 1.07 goals scored and 1.67 conceded per game.
