Chapecoense
- Chapecoense have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five matches (W1 D1 L3).
- Chapecoense have conceded 27 goals in 12 home games in Serie A 2026 (W2 D5 L5).
- Chapecoense SC have won one and drawn one of their last two home games, but they are 20th in Serie A 2026 with only 14 points from 24 games, so the fight for survival is definitely on.
- Lacerda, who took over as head coach on 30 May 2026, has been very solid defensively, keeping things simple in a compact low block.
Internacional
- Internacional RS are 18th in Serie A 2026 with 25 points from 25 games, so they have the slight edge over the home team in the battle to avoid relegation, but their form has been poor of late.
- Pezzolano's Internacional have played a similar mix of high pressing and aggressive transitions when the ball is won in advanced areas, but he has also managed to keep things tight and compact when the opposition have managed to bypass the pressing players.
- A 1-0 home win over São Paulo and a 3-1 defeat to Grêmio away were their previous two results.
Chapecoense
- Giovanni Augusto has been pulling the strings, as he has four assists in his last five games and his penetrative passes and runs are the engine of their attack.
- Tulio Eduardo has scored two of their six goals in the same five matches so he remains their sharpest edge in the penalty area.
Internacional
Vitinho has two of Internacional's four goals in the last five so he is the team's most potent weapon at the top of the pitch.
Betting Insights
The home side are rated 2.8 and that looks a little short here, which is why we are going to play it safe and take the under in the goals market at 1.8 for what should be a tense and cagey clash between two teams that need the points to move away from the bottom of the table.
