2. Injuries & Tactical Updates

- Captain Reynaldo’s injury destabilizes the midfield, leaving Jaderson as the sole creative force.

4. Betting Strategy & Recommendation
The Numbers Don’t Lie:
- Chapecoense is a 54.5% favorite to win (adjusted), with +4.5% EV.
- Remo has a 34.6% chance (adjusted), with +6.4% EV.
Why Bet Chapecoense?
- Despite Remo’s higher EV, Chapecoense’s adjusted probability is 54.5%, significantly higher than Remo’s 34.6%.
- Remo’s injuries (Rocha, Reynaldo) are not fully priced in—their implied 28.2% is below the 41% underdog rate, creating value. However, their adjusted 34.6% still lags behind Chapecoense’s 54.5%.
- Chapecoense’s home form and full-strength squad tilt the EV in their favor.
Why Not Bet Remo?
- While Remo’s +6.4% EV is tempting, their adjusted probability (34.6%) is 20% lower than Chapecoense’s.
- The risk of a 2-0 loss (as in their last meeting) is real without Rocha.
Final Verdict
Bet: Chapecoense to Win at 2.0 Odds
- Expected Value: +4.5% (positive, but lower than Remo’s +6.4%).
- Confidence: 54.5% (highest adjusted probability).
- Rationale: Chapecoense’s full-strength squad, home advantage, and Remo’s injury crisis make them the most likely winner, even if the EV is slightly lower.
Bonus Play: Consider Over 2.5 Goals at 1.8 odds (implied 55.6% probability). With Chapecoense’s attack and Remo’s leaky defense (1.8 GPG), this is a +4.4% EV play.
