Chapecoense AF desperately need points on Sunday, Aug 16 at 4:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Chapecoense AF come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Bahia, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Chapecoense AF head into this on the back of a defeat, while Bahia arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Chapecoense AF and Bahia have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Chapecoense AF won 3–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Chapecoense AF a slight edge, but Bahia are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
