Vitória vs. Chapecoense team news and expert analysis
The Salvador-based club collected the same 45 points as Vasco da Gama in 2025, but lost out to them on tiebreakers and finished 14th, missing out on a place in the Copa Sudamericana. Things are going better now, although almost half of their matches still end in defeat. Cruzeiro were their latest conquerors, winning 2-1.
The team from the state of Santa Catarina returned to the top flight after several years in the second division, finishing third. But it is already clear that they are set for another campaign in Serie B, as almost nothing has worked out at the highest level. Still, they have mainly been picking up points since mid-August, and in the latest round they held Atlético Mineiro to a 1-1 draw away from home.
Jair Ventura’s men score an average of one goal per game while conceding 1.5. The main underdogs score 1.07 goals per match but concede almost twice as many — 1.96.
