Cruzeiro VS Chapecoense SC

Cruzeiro and Chapecoense will face off in the Copa do Brasil, with Cruzeiro playing at home. In their previous encounter in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Cruzeiro won 2 - 1 at home. However, in the most recent Copa do Brasil game, the two teams drew 0 - 0, and Chapecoense led in corner kicks with a 6 - 7 advantage over Cruzeiro. Looking at their recent form, Cruzeiro has had a somewhat mixed record in the last five matches, with 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. Their results include a 1 - 0 away win against Coritiba, a 0 - 1 home loss to Botafogo, a 2 - 1 away victory over Internacional, a 1 - 3 away defeat to Grêmio, and a 2 - 0 home win against Defensor Sporting. This shows that Cruzeiro has the ability to perform well both at home and away, but they have also been inconsistent. On the other hand, the draw in the last Copa do Brasil meeting indicates that Chapecoense can put up a strong fight against Cruzeiro. Their corner - kick advantage in that game also suggests that they were quite active on the attacking front. In this upcoming Copa do Brasil match, Cruzeiro will be relying on the home - field advantage to secure a win. But Chapecoense, based on their recent encounter and overall fighting spirit, will surely be looking to cause an upset. It's going to be an exciting battle between these two teams.
