"Embarking on what has become a public fairytale, Gilmar Dal Pozzo's men have shattered a string of records and are riding a major wave of momentum. Pencilled in as a standout promotion contender this year, the Big Green know that they can skyrocket their way to top spot here. Signing off October with a 2-0 victory at home against Operario, the former Sport Recife boss has seen his squad gain a string of plaudits from across Brazil."
"As for the visitors, suffering last-gasp heartbreak at home against Novorizontino last week as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate in Minas Gerais, America MG have drastically failed to find any kind of stability this season. Getting Monday's showdown underway holding just a four-point buffer over the drop zone, Alberto Valentim's side have mustered just a single victory from any of their previous five consecutive Serie B appearances."
Chapecoense have rebounded dramatically from last season's survival scrap, compiling an unbeaten run of seven Serie B matches and breaking multiple records under Gilmar Dal Pozzo. The side closed October with a 2-0 home win over Operario and have enjoyed strong home form, suffering only one league defeat at the Arena Conda in two months. With three matches remaining, Chapecoense can move to the top of the table. America MG have struggled for consistency, drawing 2-2 with Novorizontino and claiming only one victory in their last five matches, sitting just four points above the relegation zone.
