Vitoria vs Chapecoense-sc: Vitoria to win
Vitoria's 1.3 expected goals per game outpaces Chapecoense's 0.8, and the model rates a Vitoria win at 48.3%. The home side's recent 1‑0 victory over Gremio underscores a modest but tangible edge.
Both clubs arrive with mixed recent form, but Vitoria's home advantage and superior goal‑scoring rate give them a statistical edge in this Thursday night encounter.
Bez's Verdict
The home side’s higher expected goal rate and 48.3% win probability make a Vitoria victory the most probable outcome.
Show the maths
With Vitoria averaging 1.3 expected goals and Chapecoense-sc averaging 0.8, the model gives a 59.9% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 40.1% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.1 (Vitoria 1.3 + Chapecoense-sc 0.8) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 65.0% chance against 35.0% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Vitoria at 48.3%, the draw at 28.7%, and Chapecoense-sc at 23.0% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 15.9% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Vitoria
Vitoria’s last five league results (L‑L‑W‑D‑L) include a 1‑0 home win over Gremio, a 2‑2 away draw with Mirassol, and a 1‑3 home loss to Cruzeiro. The win shows they can break down defenses, while the recent loss and draw highlight inconsistency, supporting a modest win probability rather than a dominant result.
Chapecoense-sc
Chapecoense’s form (W‑L‑W‑L‑D) features a 1‑0 home win over São Paulo and a 2‑1 away win at Corinthians, but also a 1‑3 away loss to Gremio, a 1‑2 home defeat to Internacional, and a 1‑1 away draw with Atlético‑MG. Their ability to score on the road is limited, and conceding multiple goals in three of those games underlines defensive frailty, which weakens their win chances here.
Head-to-Head
In five recent meetings the teams have drawn three times (1‑1 in 2026, 0‑0 in 2021, 1‑1 in 2020), with Vitoria winning 1‑0 in July 2023 and Chapecoense winning 3‑1 in November 2023, showing a slight edge for Vitoria’s lone victory.
