Chapecoense SC VS Atletico Paranaense

Sitting rock bottom of the league table, Chapecoense have picked up merely 18 points from 28 rounds, landing them in the 20th spot overall. Their biggest flaw lies in their extremely shaky defense: they have conceded 57 goals while scoring only 29 across the campaign, averaging nearly 2 goals conceded per game, with their backline clearly struggling to handle sustained attacking pressure. Their recent form is far from encouraging too, as they have registered just 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses in their last 6 outings, and a humiliating 0-4 thrashing at the hands of Vitoria in their most recent fixture has undoubtedly dented the squad's morale. At the other end of the spectrum, Atletico Paranaense sit 4th on the table with 50 points from 29 matches, firmly in the race for a top-four finish. Their well-balanced attack and defense is a clear step above their lower-table opponents, with 45 goals scored and only 34 conceded so far this season. They have posted 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in their last 6 games, though the last-minute equalizer they conceded to Atletico Mineiro in their previous 2-2 draw exposed a minor issue of occasional lapses in concentration when they hold a lead or stay level on the scoreboard.
