Match Analysis

Chapecoense-sc host Palmeiras at Arena Condá in Serie A, Regular Season - 37. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 29 November 2026 at 21:00 UTC.

Form Guide

Chapecoense-sc — All Games: 2W 2D 6L from 10 Serie A outings this season, averaging 0.80 points per game. Last five: L D L L L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 2.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.10 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Chapecoense-sc's home record at Arena Condá: 1W 2D 7L from 10 Serie A appearances (0.50 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 2.70 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Across all Serie A games this season, Palmeiras have recorded 5W 4D 1L from 10 outings — 1.90 PPG. Last five: W D W W W. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 0.60. Defensively, 0.60 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.

Palmeiras's away record: 5W 4D 1L from 10 road trips in Serie A this season (1.90 PPG). Away from home they average 1.70 goals scored and 0.60 conceded per game. 6 away clean sheets from 10 games (60%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home.

Despite the home advantage, the form figures favour Palmeiras — 1.10 PPG ahead of the hosts (1.90 vs 0.80). That gap is large enough to take seriously. Draw No Bet on the visitors neutralises home-ground risk while maintaining the form-backed selection.

H2H

The previous 3 encounters between these sides heavily favour Palmeiras, who boast 3 victories compared to 0 for Chapecoense-sc.

The 3 previous meetings have averaged 2.3 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 31 May 2026, ended 0–1 with Palmeiras winning.

It is worth noting that Palmeiras have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 3 wins from 3 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.

In-Play Profile

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chapecoense-sc 0.77 xG and Palmeiras 2.28 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Chapecoense-sc attack 0.829 / defence 1.711 | Palmeiras attack 1.177 / defence 0.635. League average goals — home 1.459 / away 1.130. Palmeiras's defence strength of 0.635 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 30 Chapecoense-sc games / 69 Palmeiras games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chapecoense-sc 10% | Draw 20% | Palmeiras 70%. Fair-value odds: Chapecoense-sc 10.00 | Draw 5.00 | Palmeiras 1.43. The model has a clear lean to Palmeiras (70%) — a 60pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 3.04. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.04 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 49% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Palmeiras are the pick at 70% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.04 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 59% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 49%. Form rates are neutral: Chapecoense-sc 70% | Palmeiras 40%.
