Chapecoense AF face Sao Paulo on Sunday, Aug 23 at 11:30 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Serie A, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Chapecoense AF come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Sao Paulo, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Chapecoense AF and Sao Paulo have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Chapecoense AF won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Chapecoense AF win or a draw looks most likely.
