Comprehensive Analysis:
Chapecoense’s current total squad value is approximately €7.5 million, making them the team with the lowest value in this season’s Série B, except for Ferroviária, Volta Redonda, and Botafogo SP. In terms of strength, they are definitely a lower-table side in the league. However, they currently rank 3rd in the Série B standings this season and have a chance to contend for the championship—this performance has far exceeded expectations based on their squad value, bringing great surprises to fans. After all, they only narrowly avoided relegation last season, but this season they have jumped to the top three in the standings; even in the worst-case scenario, they are in contention for a promotion spot.
Vila Nova’s current total squad value is around €8.6 million, and their overall strength is also that of a lower-mid-table side in Série B. They currently rank 11th in the standings, with both home and away performances also placing them 11th—this is basically in line with expectations based on their squad value. Their current ranking is awkward: they are safe from relegation but face great difficulty in securing promotion. Gabriel Poveda, who has scored only 4 goals, is already the team’s top scorer.
Summary:
There is a slight gap in strength between the two teams, and Chapecoense’s recent form is far better than Vila Nova’s. However, Vila Nova has a certain advantage in historical head-to-head matches—Chapecoense has failed to win in their last 7 encounters with Vila Nova. Nevertheless, based on the current league trend and the strength shown this season, Chapecoense, which is striving for the championship or promotion, has a good chance of securing three points at home against Vila Nova, whose motivation for the season is unclear.
