São Paulo have dominated this fixture recently, remaining unbeaten in their last five encounters with three wins and two draws. This includes a victory earlier this year in March. Historically, Chapecoense have been more resilient at home, but they have struggled to turn that into three points against the Tricolor in recent seasons.

• Chapecoense are currently on a seven-match winless streak in Serie A.
• Marcinho has been the bright spark for the hosts, netting two goals in his last five league appearances.
• São Paulo holds a 50% win rate in historical head-to-head encounters against Chapecoense in the top flight.
• The visitors have failed to win any of their last five matches across all competitions.

Chapecoense face a significant selection crisis with six players sidelined, including Yannick Bolasie, Bruno Tubarao, and Joao Paulo. They will rely heavily on Marcinho and Giovanni Augusto, both of whom found the net in the recent draw with Bahia. São Paulo are also missing key leadership and flair, with Lucas Moura, Lucca Marques, and veteran defender Rafael Toloi all unavailable for the trip to Chapecó.
