Form Guide
Vitoria have struggled for consistency in their last five matches, recording just one win (LLWDL). They average a goal per game but concede 1.8, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. In contrast, Chapecoense-sc’s recent form shows promise with three wins in five (WLWLD). Their attack averages 1.2 goals per match while conceding 1.4, indicating slight improvements at both ends of the pitch.
Head-to-Head
The last five meetings between these sides have been tightly contested, with three draws and a win apiece. Their most recent encounter in April 2026 ended 1-1 at Chapecoense-sc’s home ground. Vitoria’s solitary victory came in July 2023 with a narrow 1-0 triumph at Barradão Stadium, while Chapecoense-sc won 3-1 in November 2023. This rivalry typically produces cagey affairs, suggesting another close contest is in the offing.
Team News & Injuries
Vitoria face a significant injury crisis, with TEN first-team players sidelined. Key absences include Baralhas, Camutanga, Fabiano, and Anderson, all nursing serious knee and leg injuries. This defensive depletion could prove costly against Chapecoense-sc’s improving attack. The visitors have their own injury concerns, missing six players including Bruno Tubarao, Max Alves, and Vinicius Balieiro. However, their depth appears less affected compared to Vitoria’s devastating injury list.
The Odds
William Hill favors Vitoria at 1.67 despite their recent struggles, reflecting home advantage and Chapecoense-sc’s historical away form. The draw is priced at 3.60, while Chapecoense-sc are the underdogs at 4.60. These odds suggest Vitoria have a slight edge, but Chapecoense-sc’s recent form couldn’t be discounted.
Our Prediction
Considering Vitoria’s home advantage (35% win probability) and Chapecoense-sc’s improved form (30%), we predict a 1-1 draw (35%), mirroring their previous encounter. Both teams will likely approach this cautiously given the stakes, resulting in a tight, hard-fought contest. With Vitoria’s defensive injuries and Chapecoense-sc’s attacking improvements, a share of the spoils seems the most probable outcome in this crucial Serie A matchup.
