Chapecoense vs São Paulo

Chapecoense sit bottom of the Série A table, 20th with 10 points from 21 games, while São Paulo are 12th on 26. The hosts badly need points to climb out of the relegation zone, and a win here would ease the pressure on São Paulo too. Form favors neither side. Chapecoense have won just once in their last five outings, including a 4-0 loss to Flamengo, though Jean and Leo Vieira have caught the eye going forward. São Paulo have also managed only one win in five, leaning on Luciano and Calleri up front while Oscar works his way back from injury. Head-to-head the sides are evenly matched — four wins each and four draws in twelve meetings — though São Paulo's 4-0 and 3-0 wins in 2019 stand out, and Chapecoense haven't beaten them since 2018. Our prediction: 1-2
