Santa Cruz take on the visitors Chapecoense in the round 23 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played in Recife at Arruda Stadium on Wednesday, September 7th.
Santa Cruz managed to advance for the round of 16 in Copa Sudamericana, eliminating the neighbors Sport Recife, 0-0, 1-0. At the same time, Santa Cruz show disappointing results in Serie A. The hosting side is unable to win in their last seven matches in a row since the middle of June with only two points taken. So, it’s not a surprise that the team is the last in the Serie A standings with 19 points after 22 matches played. The host show inconsistent results at home this season, recording four win and seven defeats in 11 matches. However, the last three games at home ended with defeats to Coritiba, 0-1, Sao Paulo, 1-2 and Fluminense, 0-1.

Chapecoense also successfully advanced for the round of 16 in Copa Sudamericana, beating Cuiaba Esporte, 0-1, 3-1. Chapecoense have firm place in the middle of the Serie A table with 30 points taken in 22 matches.
The opponent met only one time in a long while. This match was played this season when the opponents drew the reverse fixture at Chapecoense, 1-1. Upcoming match against the team from the middle of the table is one of those rare opportunities when Santa Cruz can count on points so we should expect the host to be closer to a victory.
Prediction for the match: Santa Cruz to win with +0.0 Asian handicap.
