Cruzeiro VS Chapecoense SC

The home team, Cruzeiro, is a strong mid - table team in the Brazilian league. In the recent six official matches, they've achieved three wins, one draw, and two losses, showing decent stability. Their home - field performance is outstanding. In the last six home games, they've won four, drawn one, and lost one, scoring ten goals while conceding only three. The atmosphere at the Mineirão Stadium is highly intimidating. However, when playing away, despite having a 63% ball - possession rate, they've managed only one on - target shot in a whole game, indicating extremely low finishing efficiency in front of the goal. A large amount of ball - control in attacks rarely translates into goals. The away team, Chapecoense, is under great pressure in the league. They're at the bottom of the Brazilian league this season. After 19 rounds, they've only won one game and are far behind the safety zone. Their away - game record is abysmal, with no wins, two draws, and seven losses in nine away games, averaging less than 0.5 goals per game. Their ability to break through defenses away from home is the worst in the league. Nevertheless, they've shown great resilience in the cup. Although struggling in the league, they've conceded only one goal in three Brazilian Cup games so far. In the first leg, they adopted a defensive strategy and successfully restricted Cruzeiro's attacks.
