Bitesize Prediction: Chapecoense vs Volta Redonda – 23/07/25

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Chapecoense win

Odds: 12/11 @ 1xBet

Looking to extend their stay in the promotion spots, Chapecoense will welcome Volta Redonda to the Arena Conda late on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Chapecoense might have only just clung to their Serie B status last season, the Verdao have certainly made a string of improvements this time around. Getting the midweek fixtures underway sat in the promotion places, Gilmar Dal Pozzo’s men will be looking to lay down another marker on Wednesday night. Last seen putting in another gritty performance as they clinched a 1-0 victory away at America MG, the former Avai boss finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Gaining a string of plaudits from across Brazil’s second-tier since opening up the 2025 campaign, Chapecoense have mustered seven points from their previous three Serie B appearances. It should also be highlighted, Dal Pozzo’s promotion contenders have suffered just a single defeat from any of their last seven straight matchups at the Arena Conda – a run that stems back to April 12th.

As for the visitors, managing to claim what was a much-welcomed boost last weekend as they snatched a thrilling 3-2 victory at home against Athletico-PR, Volta Redonda will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, getting Wednesday’s showdown underway still sat in the relegation zone, Rogerio Correa’s men have a real battle to avoid an immediate Serie C return this season. Getting July underway with a 2-0 loss away at Coritiba, the midweek guests have also shown some glaring issues on the road. Including consecutive 2-0 defeats against Atletico GO and Goias last month, Volta have failed to win any of their previous 11 straight away fixtures across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to February 16th. It should also be highlighted, Correa’s side have registered just a single strike outside of Rio de Janeiro since the end of April.
