Despite averaging a goal per game at home, they have been unable to translate this into wins, often conceding late in matches. Sao Paulo's away form offers some hope for Chapecoense-sc, as Sao Paulo has not managed a win on the road in their last five attempts, drawing twice and losing three times. Both teams have exhibited defensive frailties, with Sao Paulo conceding 1.40 goals per game away from home, a factor that Chapecoense-sc will want to exploit.

Defensively, both teams have similar records, with each conceding 1.20 goals on average per game. Historically, Sao Paulo has had the upper hand in head-to-head encounters, winning three out of the last five meetings, while two ended in draws.
