Chapecoense welcome Internacional to Arena Condá with both sides fighting to escape trouble at the wrong end of the table. Chapecoense sit dead last with just 17 points from 25 games, while Internacional occupy 17th spot, only two places and eight points better off. The reverse fixture earlier this season is worth a mention here: bookmakers gave Chapecoense a 70% chance of victory that night, yet Internacional walked away 2-0 winners. That result alone tells punters not to lean too heavily on home comfort in this rivalry.

Watch Marcio Antonio de Sousa Junior for Chapecoense, he has scored three goals in his last four appearances and remains the one attacking outlet the hosts can rely on. For Internacional, Alan Patrick continues to dictate tempo through midfield with a goal and two assists across five recent matches, and his set-piece delivery could prove decisive against a Chapecoense side conceding at an alarming rate.

Hot stat: Internacional have failed to win any of their last seven matches across all competitions in the past 30 days, drawing four and losing three, a stretch of results that sits oddly with their status as clear favourites here.

Chapecoense vs Internacional prediction

We predict Internacional edge this one, though not comfortably. Chapecoense have the worst goal difference in the division at -23, having shipped 50 goals in 25 matches, and that defensive fragility should be exploited by a side averaging 88 shots across its last five outings compared to Chapecoense’s 64. Internacional’s recent form reads poorly on paper, but four of their last seven results were draws against sides in better shape than Chapecoense, not outright collapses.

Style-wise, Internacional commit more fouls (94 versus 64 in the last five games) and pick up more yellow cards (16 to 12), a pattern consistent with a side that presses higher and concedes more free kicks in dangerous areas. Chapecoense’s pass accuracy sits close to Internacional’s, roughly 83% against 81%, so neither side should struggle building from the back, though Chapecoense’s defensive positioning has been the bigger issue all season, not their passing.

Team Analysis

Chapecoense’s last five results read L, D, W, L, W, a mixed run that still leaves them bottom of the table. Their most recent outing brought a 2-1 win over Corinthians, a rare bright spot built on Marcio Antonio’s continued scoring form. Before that came a 1-3 defeat to Gremio and a battling 1-0 win against Sao Paulo, so the pattern is one of occasional quality performances undone by a defense that has now conceded 50 goals in 25 league matches, the worst return in Série A this season.

Internacional’s recent form tells a different story: three straight losses (Santos, Gremio, Bahia) preceded by two draws against Gremio and Atletico Mineiro. The 2-3 defeat to Santos was their most recent match, a game where they conceded three times despite generating enough shots to win comfortably. That recurring theme, generating volume without converting it, has kept Internacional stuck at 17th despite ranking far above Chapecoense in overall quality.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Internacional the favourite

• Moneyline Chapecoense 3.40 | Internacional 2.20
• Draw 3.30

Bookmakers price Internacional as clear favourites despite their poor recent run, largely on the back of Chapecoense’s league-worst defensive record. The draw price around 3.30 reflects genuine uncertainty given both sides’ inconsistent recent form, and we think there’s value on Internacional at these odds considering their quality edge, though backing them with confidence requires ignoring seven winless matches, a risk worth flagging for cautious punters.

Possible Starting Lineups

Chapecoense possible starting eleven

Coach Rafael Lacerda should stick with the 4-2-3-1 shape used in recent matches. Giovanni Augusto, with four assists in his last four appearances, remains the creative focal point behind Marcio Antonio, the only consistent goal threat in the squad this campaign.

Internacional possible starting eleven

Paulo Pezzolano keeps faith with the same 4-2-3-1 setup. Vitinho leads the line with two goals from his last five matches, while Alan Patrick’s passing range from midfield gives Internacional their best route to breaking down a deep Chapecoense block.

TipsGG Match Prediction

Our punters team leans toward an Internacional win, but not a routine one. Chapecoense’s defensive numbers, 50 goals conceded, -23 goal difference, make them vulnerable to a side that still generates 88 shots per five games even in poor form. Internacional’s own struggles in front of goal suggest this won’t be a comfortable scoreline though, and both teams have shown enough attacking output recently to make BTTS a reasonable call. Perhaps the safest read is Internacional to edge a tight, foul-heavy match where set pieces and individual quality, Alan Patrick and Vitinho in particular, decide things rather than open football.
