Match description
Cruzeiro is the favorite in this match: at home they average 1.63 goals per game with an average xG of 1.55 and 4.63 shots on target, while Chapecoense score only 0.50 goals away with an xG of 0.86 and 1.67 shots on target. Defensively the home side also performs better — Cruzeiro concedes 1.25 goals per game at home and keeps 38% clean sheets, whereas Chapecoense concedes 1.67 goals away and has 0% clean sheets. Recent form confirms the advantage: Cruzeiro over the last five matches has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss (1.6 points per game), while Chapecoense has 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses (0.8 points per game). Additionally the hosts control the game (57% possession vs 39%) and are more efficient with shots (conversion 11% vs 6%), which indicates more high-quality chances and an xG advantage (1.55 vs 0.86). Therefore I predict a Cruzeiro win; a draw or an away win for Chapecoense are significantly less likely given the difference in home goal differential (+3) and the visitors’ away goal differential (-7).
