Chapecoense are the bottom-placed team in Brazil Serie A. They have managed to win only once in 30 league games so it makes their 1-11-18 record look terrible compared to other teams. The only win in this season came on the road against Bragantino, back in September. Since then, Chape lost 6 games and 4 ended in a draw. At home, they couldn't win in this season. So, literally, they are relegated as they are 12 points behind 19th placed Gremio, with 8 games left until the end of the season. Call it mission impossible ofcourse... Gomes, Kadu, Santana, Tiepo, and Vagner are injured in the home side and will miss the game.

Flamengo are currently 3rd placed team in Serie A, but are 2 games behind the Atletico MG and Palmeiras, who are top placed teams in the league. With a win today, Flamengo would jump over second-placed Palmeiras and come closer to leaders. So, Flamengo are traveling with the imperative of winning here. They are the best attack in the league with 52 goals scored - 5 more goals scored than the second-best attack in the league (47 goals). It's because Flamengo is nurturing a bit more offensive football than their rivals, and they have some strong attacking names as Gabriel Barbosa, Michael and Bruno Henrique, as well as Pedro.

沙佩科恩斯是巴西甲级联赛中排名垫底的球队。他们在 30 场联赛中仅赢过一场，因此与其他球队相比，他们的 1胜11平18负的战绩看起来很糟糕。本赛季唯一的胜利是在客场对阵布拉甘蒂诺的比赛中取得的，那是在 9 月份。此后他们输掉了6场比赛，其中4场战平。在主场，他们本赛季还未获胜。因此，从纸面上看，他们很可能会降级。他们落后第 19 位的格雷米奥 12 分，距离赛季结束还有 8 场比赛。当然是不可能的任务……戈麦斯、卡杜、桑塔纳、铁波和瓦格纳受伤，将缺席比赛。

弗拉门戈队目前在巴甲联赛中排名第 3，比米内罗竞技和帕尔梅拉斯少赛 2 场比赛，后者是联赛中排名第一的球队。凭借今天的胜利，弗拉门戈将超越排名第二的帕尔梅拉斯，更接近领头羊。所以，弗拉门戈带着必胜的决心。他们是联赛中进攻最好的球队，打进了 52 个进球——比第二名的球队（47 个进球）多 5 个进球。这是因为弗拉门戈比他们的对手更加重视进攻，他们有一些强大的锋线球员，如加布里埃尔·巴博萨、迈克尔和布鲁诺·恩里克，以及佩德罗。

Flamengo won 4 out of the previous 4 mutual games against Chape. In total 6 matches on this stadium in Serie A since 2014, Flamengo managed to win 4 games while Chape won twice. But, back then Chape was the side of better quality. Today, I can imagine only away win, no other result. Flamengo are the serious side with the highest ambitions so away win at 1.30 is still good to give a try!

弗拉门戈队在 4 场对阵沙佩科恩斯的比赛中赢了 4 场。自 2014 年以来，在这个球场弗拉门戈总共赢了 6 场比赛，而沙佩科恩斯只赢了 2 场。但是，当时的沙佩科恩斯是实力更强的一方。现在弗拉门戈是更强的球队，所以客场赢球值得一试！
