Chapecoense vs Sao Paulo: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Chapeco spent the previous four years in Serie B. However, last season they finally showed a decent result, finishing third, which earned them a return to the Brasileirao. Still, it is already clear they will only spend one season there—they are the main outsider by a margin. They also said goodbye to the cup in August. At least they managed a draw against Bahia.
The giant from Sao Paulo managed only 51 points last season. That was just the eighth-best result in Serie A, sending them to the Copa Sudamericana. There, the Brazilians advanced to the playoffs, where after a draw away to Bolivar, they won 3-1 at home. At the same time, they were knocked out of the cup as early as May, losing to Juventude. In the league, they still can’t pull away from the relegation zone for good. They also only managed a draw with Coritiba.
The newly promoted outsider averages only 1.05 goals per match scored, while conceding twice as many—2.09 per game. Dorival Junior’s men maintain a positive balance, scoring 1.23 goals per game and conceding slightly less—1.18.
