Head-to-head statistics Chapecoense - Bahia Ba

Chapecoense Team Overview
The team's last official match was played on in the Série A (home side - Coritiba, away side - Chapecoense). The match ended 2-1.
The match statistics were as follows (Chapecoense vs Coritiba):
- possession: 64% vs 36%;
- corners: 6 vs 5;
- fouls: 11 vs 14;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 1;
- shots on target: 3 vs 4.
Chapecoense are effectively in crisis. After 22 rounds the team sit bottom of the table, and their winless run has reached 11 matches. In the last round, the Verdão lost to Coritiba 1-2, and a few days earlier they were knocked out of the Copa do Brasil, losing to Cruzeiro 0-2 on aggregate.
The main problem for Rafael Lacerda's side is a lack of stability up front. Chapecoense regularly create individual chances but too often fail to get enough out of them. At the same time the defence is also struggling to hold up over the distance: in the last six matches across all competitions the team have conceded 12 goals.
Home advantage remains one of the few arguments in the hosts' favour. At Arena Conda, Chapecoense will be forced to play more boldly, especially given their position in the table. Dropping more points would widen the gap even further from their rivals in the fight for survival.

Bahia Team Overview
The current away side's last official match was played in the Série A (home side - Bahia, away side - Vasco da Gama). The match ended 0:0.
The match stats were as follows (Bahia vs Vasco da Gama):
- possession: 51% vs 49%;
- corners: 4 vs 6;
- fouls: 13 vs 10;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 2;
- shots on target: 2 vs 3.
Bahia come into this match in a completely different position in the table. Rogério Ceni's side are still fighting for a place in the Copa Libertadores zone, but right now they are clearly lacking wins. Their last match against Vasco da Gama ended 0-0 and was already their fourth consecutive draw in the league. Before that, the team also shared points with Fluminense, Corinthians and Atlético Mineiro.
The visitors' problem at the moment lies precisely in attack. In their last four Série A matches, Bahia have scored just two goals. At the same time, the Tricolor remain one of the better-organised sides defensively, so against the bottom club in the league Ceni has every reason to focus on control and solidity.
An additional advantage for Bahia is their motivation in terms of the table. The visitors are still fighting for a place in the upper half, while Chapecoense need to save their season. In this situation, Bahia's superior squad quality and stable structure should prove decisive.

⭐ Editor's Pick
At first glance, four draws in a row might make you more cautious about Bahia, but this match looks like a convenient opportunity to end that run. Chapecoense have not won in 11 games in a row, recently dropped out of the Copa do Brasil, and remain bottom of the table.
That said, I wouldn't expect a big win from Bahia. The visitors themselves are having serious problems in front of goal. So the main argument in Bahia's favour is not the strength of their attack, but their ability to control the game and prevent the opposition from creating many dangerous moments. Main bet: total under 2.5 goals. Correct score prediction: 0:1 to Bahia.
