Chapecoense vs Brusque Prediction & Preview

Preview

The 15th round of Brazil's Serie B is upon us, and on Sunday, July 14th, Chapecoense will host Brusque at Arena Condá. This match promises to be an intriguing encounter, with both teams looking to climb the league table.

Chapecoense, currently sitting in 12th place with 17 points, have been inconsistent in their recent form, winning two and losing three of their last five matches. In their previous outing, they secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Goiás away from home. Meanwhile, Brusque, who occupy the 18th spot with 13 points, have shown more resilience, drawing four and winning one of their last five games. They played out a goalless draw against Ponte Preta in their most recent match.

When these two teams met previously on January 24th, 2024, at Estádio Augusto Bauer, the match ended in a stalemate, with Brusque holding Chapecoense to a 0-0 draw. Interestingly, Chapecoense have managed only one win in their last five head-to-head encounters against Brusque, with three matches ending in draws.

Chapecoense's home form has been a concern, scoring an average of just 0.5 goals per game and conceding 1.5 goals per match. On the other hand, Brusque have fared better on their travels, netting an average of one goal per game while keeping things tight at the back with only one goal conceded per match.

Bet

Considering the recent form and head-to-head records, I would recommend a bet on Under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.47. Both teams have struggled to find the back of the net, with Chapecoense averaging 0.8 goals per game and Brusque managing just 0.6 goals per match. Additionally, their previous encounter ended in a goalless draw, suggesting that goals may be scarce in this match. With decent value on offer, Under 2.5 goals looks like a solid bet.
