Chapecoense AF host Internacional in a Serie A fixture that carries genuine survival stakes for both clubs. The bottom two sides in the division meet in a match where three points could prove decisive in the relegation battle.
Chapecoense sit 20th in the table, rooted to the foot of the division. Lacerda's side have shown flashes of attacking intent this season, including a 3-3 draw with Bahia and a 1-0 win over Sao Paulo, but their defensive record has undermined any progress. A win here is not just desirable — it is close to essential.
Internacional arrive in only marginally better shape, occupying 18th place and without a win in their last five matches. Paulo Pezzolano's side have drawn three and lost two across that run, scoring just twice. The pressure at the Beira-Rio has been building, and a defeat to a direct rival would deepen the crisis.
The visitors come into this fixture on the back of a 2-3 Serie A loss to Santos, a result that continued a damaging sequence of poor form. Their inability to find goals has been a persistent problem, and they have conceded freely in recent weeks.
Chapecoense, by contrast, picked up a 1-2 Serie A win over Corinthians in their most recent outing — a result that offered some encouragement ahead of this meeting. Whether they can back it up against a side with more top-flight experience remains the central question.
This is a fixture where neither side can afford to look beyond the next three points. Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch Chapecoense AF vs Internacional live, including TV channel, live stream options, and kick-off time.
