Bitesize Prediction: Chapecoense vs Vila Nova – 01/09/25

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Chapecoense win

Odds: 1/1 @ BetUS

Looking to widen their buffer in the promotion spots, Chapecoense will welcome Vila Nova to the Arena Conda late on Monday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Chapecoense might have only just dragged themselves over the finishing line last season as they managed to keep hold of their Serie B status, the Big Green have come roaring back in a sensational fashion. Embarking on what has been a remarkable purple patch this year, Gilmar Dal Pozzo’s camp have rightfully received a string of praise from across Brazil. Getting Monday’s showdown underway sat in bronze medal position, the former Avai boss will be calling on his high-flying squad to lay down another marker here. Last seen storming their way to a stellar 4-0 victory away at Athletic Club, Chapecoense have registered 10 points from their last four Serie B appearances. Likewise, Monday’s hosts are unbeaten in all of their previous nine consecutive outings – a run that stems all the way back to June 29th. It should also be highlighted, along with not shipping a single strike in almost 300 minutes of action, they have also recorded a clean sheet in four of their last five Serie B showdowns.

As for the visitors, despite securing consecutive Serie B victories last month, Vila Nova have once again failed to find any kind of stability. Crashing back down to earth last time out as they fell to a routine 2-0 defeat at the hands of Botafogo, the Tigers have also seen their respective promotion dreams take a potential dent. Getting Monday’s trip to the Arena Conda underway sat six points adrift of the top-four, Rafael Lacerda’s side have also shown some major inconsistencies outside of Goias. Including a 2-1 defeat against Volta Redonda on July 27th, the Reds have won just a pair of their previous nine showdowns away from the Onesio Brasileiro Alvarenga across all competitions. In fact, Vila Nova have failed to record back-to-back Serie B wins on the road so far this calendar year. Facing what looks set to be a stern examination when they travel to the leading promotion contenders here, we are backing a home victory on Monday night.
