REF’s picks

EC Vitória return to the Barradão needing a response after a difficult run, and their vertical buildup should create enough openings against a struggling Chapecoense side to cover the handicap. While the hosts have leaked goals recently, Chapecoense's away struggles and bottom-of-the-table reality point to a comfortable home win if Vitória cut out defensive errors.

1. 1Vitória hold home advantage at the Barradão where they face the league's bottom side.
2. 2Chapecoense have shown resilience on the road recently, making a multi-goal margin far from guaranteed.
3. 3Vitória's recent defensive vulnerabilities mean they could easily concede and fail to clear the handicap if they repeat past mistakes.
