Chapecoense v Botafogo: survival fight meets Sudamericana push | OneFootball

Chapecoense host Botafogo in the Brasileirão at Arena Condá on 18 April 2026, with the hosts 19th in the table and the visitors 11th and tracking the Sudamericana places.

Chapecoense and Botafogo's recent league meetings lean the visitors' way, six wins to three with one draw across the listed head to head, including a 1-0 away win here in 2019.

Chape are winless in five league matches. Glorioso are unbeaten in five in all competitions, with league wins at Vasco da Gama and a draw against Coritiba alongside continental results.

Fogão travel without Fernando Marçal, Alex Telles, Joaquín Correa and Kaio Fernando Da Silva Pantaleao. The hosts remain without Giovanni Augusto, Bruno Matias, Mancha and Robert.

Verdão do Oeste have scored 10 and conceded 18 in 10 league games, with nine of their goals coming at Arena Condá, so a controlled start could suit them. Fogão have been open, scoring 18 and conceding 21 overall, and they have allowed 14 goals away from home in six matches, so the visitors may need balance to protect a lively attack.

A home win would move Chape to 11 points and could ease relegation pressure. An away victory would take Glorioso to 16 points and may nudge them up from 11th, strengthening their grip on the Sudamericana bracket.
