Chapecoense team overview
After four years in Serie B, Chapecoense returned to the Brazilian top flight this season. However, according to reports, Gilmar Dal Pozzo's team has the smallest budget in the competition, and avoiding relegation will be quite an achievement. Chapecoense started Serie A with five points in four matches. In the previous round, they lost 2-0 on the road against Sao Paulo. The visitors ended with only 37% ball possession and 11 shots on goal fewer than the opponent, highlighting the gap in quality.
The biggest problem for Chapecoense at the start of the 2025 season is their defense. They conceded eight goals in the opening four Serie A rounds and will have to do much better to have realistic chances of surviving in the competition.
Chapecoense have some problems with missing players. They will be without Bruno Matias, Mancha, Marcos Vinicius, Camilo, and Mauricio Garcez, while Robert Conceicao is questionable, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.

Gremio team overview
After two mid-table seasons, Gremio are hoping to make a step forward this year. However, seven points from the first five matches weren't particularly encouraging, and it seems Gremio still needs to improve to stand a chance against the best Brazilian teams. Luis Castro's team are undefeated in the last six matches across all competitions. In the previous game, they played 1-1 at home against Bragantino. The teams were pretty even throughout the tie, so a draw seems the fairest outcome.
After a defeat in the previous round, Gremio's head coach, Luis Castro, was clear that his team is still far from their best form. He said, "We are in the process of forming a team, and today (Thursday), this formation as a team could not be done in the best way due to the absence of several players who are crucial to this improvement."
Arthur Melo, Mathias Villasanti, and Willian are unavailable for the trip to Chapeco. Martin Braithwaite and Francis Amuzu are injured too, but they could recover in time for the upcoming clash.
