Chapecoense and Bragantino square off at Arena Condá in a fixture that sees one side desperate to escape the bottom of the league and the other aiming to break into the top six. Chapecoense, stuck in 20th place, faces a more in-form Bragantino who have almost double the win rate over the last 30 days. Watch for Isidro Pitta—Bragantino’s main attacking threat with four goals in his last five—and Maurício Garcez, Chapecoense’s key creative outlet, as both could shift the game’s momentum. Hot stat: Bragantino have fired 92 shots in their last five matches, more than double Chapecoense’s output, underlining a stark attacking contrast.

Chapecoense vs Bragantino prediction
We predict a Bragantino away win. Their superior shot count, more cohesive midfield, and attacking depth have consistently delivered stronger results. Chapecoense’s defensive struggles—24 goals conceded in 12 games—persist despite tactical tweaks. Bragantino’s form, coupled with Isidro Pitta’s scoring and Lucas Henrique Barbosa’s threat from wide areas, points to a clear advantage.
Chapecoense tends to commit fewer fouls (31 in last five) and receives fewer cards compared to Bragantino (68 fouls, 12 yellows). Bragantino’s physical approach might result in more set-pieces, but it also opens gaps for counters. Bragantino’s pass completion (81%) dwarfs Chapecoense’s 81%, and their higher corner tally (27 vs 18) indicates greater attacking presence. Bragantino’s 34 interceptions show their intent to disrupt play early.

Team Analysis
Chapecoense snapped a dire run by beating América MG 2-1 last time out, showing rare attacking intent but still revealing defensive issues. They had previously lost to Fluminense (1-2) and Botafogo RJ (0-1, 1-4), struggling to contain more technical sides and rarely threatening consistently in attack. The draw against Juventude (0-0) highlighted their inability to break down deeper defenses. Their lone win in five will not dispel relegation fears unless they tighten up at the back and find new avenues for creativity.
Bragantino, meanwhile, narrowly lost to River Plate (0-1) in continental action but managed to frustrate the likes of Palmeiras (0-1) and grab points against Mirassol (1-1) and Remo (4-2). The 3-2 win over Blooming displayed attacking versatility, with Pitta and Barbosa both scoring. Bragantino’s high-volume offense—92 shots in five matches—shows their intent to press, but defensive lapses persist, evidenced by the goals conceded in almost every game. Their record away from home is solid, and their direct approach often overpowers lower-ranked sides like Chapecoense.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Bragantino the favourite
- Moneyline Chapecoense 3.72 | Bragantino 2.11
- Draw 3.32
- Over/Under Over 2.5 2.35 | Under 2.5 1.60
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.90 | No 1.85
Bookmakers strongly back Bragantino, with the away side priced around 2.11 to win. Chapecoense’s long odds reflect their position at the bottom of the table and recent lack of goal threat. Over 2.5 goals sits at a fair 2.35, mirroring Bragantino’s attacking numbers and Chapecoense’s leaky defense.

Possible Starting Lineups
Chapecoense possible starting eleven
- GK: Rafael Santos
- DF: Bruno Leonardo, Eduardo Vinicius Domachowski, Victor Caetano, Marcos Vinicius
- MF: Jean Carlos, Higor Meritão, Camilo Reijers de Oliveira
- FW: Maurício Garcez, Marcio Antonio de Sousa Junior, Sebastiao Enio Santos de Almeida
Rafael Santos has been steady between the sticks, while the back four features Domachowski’s passing and Marcos Vinicius’s energy. Jean Carlos and Higor Meritão anchor midfield, looking to support a forward line led by Garcez, Junior, and Enio Santos. Garcez, the creative pulse, needs to link well with Junior for Chapecoense to pose a threat. The 4-2-3-1 formation remains probable for Fábio Matias as it allows defensive coverage and quick transitions.
Bragantino possible starting eleven
- GK: Tiago Volpi
- DF: José Hurtado Cheme, Pedro Henrique, Juninho Capixaba
- MF: Gabriel Girotto, Matheus Fernandes, Gustavo Marques Alves dos Santos, Gustavo
- FW: Isidro Pitta, Lucas Henrique Barbosa, Vinicius
Tiago Volpi leads from the back, with Hurtado and Capixaba providing width and defensive cover. In midfield, Girotto and Fernandes control tempo while Marques Alves and Gustavo link play. Up front, Pitta, Barbosa, and Vinicius offer power and pace. Bragantino likely continues with their 3-4-1-2 formation, focusing on quick ball progression and overloads in wide areas. Pitta’s current form makes him the player to watch.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Bragantino to secure all three points, capitalizing on their attacking volume and Chapecoense’s ongoing defensive frailties. Expect a high-tempo game, several chances created by the visitors, and both teams likely to score given recent trends. The over on corners and goals offers additional value given both sides’ open play and Bragantino’s set-piece count.
