Chapecoense-SC hosts Cuiaba in round 12 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, July 18th at Arena Condá (Chapecó)
Chapecoense looks like the main contender to leave Serie A again. The Greens are in the penultimate place, outranking Gremio by one point. But the Immortal Tricolors have an experienced coach and a strong squad. Yes, they no longer have a chance to claim something serious in this Brasileirao, but at the same time they should at least escape from relegation. In any case, Chapecoense’s statistics are also terrible, and there is no difference from what place to go to Serie B. Already 11 matches are behind, and the Greens didn’t manage to gain a single victory. There was a good segment, when they suffered only one defeat and gained four draws in five rounds, but this is the only thing that Chapecoense can add to their assets. Moreover, all four last matches were lost, and Chapecoense conceded one goal only from Corinthians.

Last year Cuiaba became 4th in Serie B. This turned out to be enough for the Green-Golds to promote to the elite of Brazilian football for the first time in their history (by the way, they just honorably celebrated the 20-year foundation). Taking this fact into account, the intermediate results of the newcomer can be called quite good. Yes, it has not managed to win yet, but at the same time, six out of nine rounds ended in a draw, including both of the last ones. The Green-Golds tied against Red Bull Bragantino away and Ceara at home. Both times Cuiaba won back thanks to goals from Jenison, a 30-year-old forward who has only played one game in the elite in his career. Therefore, the Green-Golds are so far ahead of Chapecoense and Gremio and breathe down the necks of Sport Recife, which is only one point ahead.
So far, the team that holds the match at home invariably wins. It happened in Copa Sudamericana in 2016 and in last year's Serie. Both times the clubs won at their native stadiums. Let us believe that the trend of head-to-head matches will continue. We recommend betting on Chapecoense, but taking into account its weak results, it’s necessary to add a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Chapecoense-SC to win with 0.0 handicap
