Chapecoense AF host Vasco da Gama in a Serie A fixture that carries serious stakes for both clubs at the wrong end of the table. Lacerda's side sit rooted to the bottom of the division in 20th place, while Pedro Emanuel's Vasco occupy 17th — a gap of just three positions that makes this a direct confrontation between two clubs desperate to pull clear of trouble.
Chapecoense arrive in wretched form. They have lost four of their last five Serie A matches, conceding freely and scoring very little, and their position at the foot of the table reflects a squad that has struggled to compete at this level since returning to the top flight. A draw with Santos last time out offered the faintest trace of encouragement, but it does little to mask the scale of their problems.
Vasco's recent record is only marginally better. Pedro Emanuel's side have won just once in their last five matches across all competitions, with three Serie A defeats in that run exposing real defensive frailties. A Copa Sudamericana draw with Independiente Medellin midweek did nothing to ease the pressure heading into the weekend.
The visitors do carry some continental experience into this game. Their 3-0 Copa Sudamericana win over Barracas Central earlier in the campaign showed they are capable of controlling a match when confidence is flowing, but replicating that in the league has proved beyond them.
For Chapecoense, the urgency is acute. They have not won a Serie A match in their last four attempts, and the gap between themselves and safety will not close without results at home. Vasco, for their part, know that dropping points against the division's bottom side would be damaging to their own survival push.
This is a fixture where neither side can afford to be passive. Both managers will demand a response from their players, and the tension of a relegation battle should ensure an intense contest.

Team news & squads
Chapecoense AF vs Vasco da Gama Probable lineups
Manager
- Lacerda
Chapecoense head into this fixture under Lacerda, though no confirmed injury or suspension information is currently available for the home side. No probable lineup has been released, and updates will be added closer to kick-off as the squad picture becomes clearer.
Vasco da Gama are managed by Pedro Emanuel, but the away side's squad news is similarly unconfirmed at this stage. No injuries, suspensions, or projected XI have been provided, and further information is expected to emerge in the build-up to the match.
Form
Chapecoense have taken one point from their last five matches, drawing once and losing four times in that stretch. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-2 draw with Santos in Serie A, while their heaviest defeat in the run was a 4-0 loss to Flamengo. They also fell to Bahia 2-0, Palmeiras 1-0, and Cruzeiro 2-1 during that period. Across those five games, Chapecoense scored six goals and conceded nine, a return that underlines how exposed they have been at both ends.
Vasco da Gama have recorded one win, two draws, and two defeats across their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw with Mirassol in Serie A, and they also drew 2-2 with Independiente Medellin in the Copa Sudamericana. Their sole win came against Barracas Central, a 3-0 Copa Sudamericana victory, while defeats to Vitoria and Atletico MG in the league reflect a side that has found consistent results difficult to come by.
Head-to-Head Record
Head to Head
