Both are correct, depending on what you mean by 'chance'.
There is less chance = lower probability
There are fewer chances = fewer opportunities
'Chance' has several meanings, some countable and some uncountable.
[ btw The question is 'What do you think?', rather than 'How do you think?']

Chance is a countable noun. So you can say: There are fewer chances of something happening.
However, you can also say:
There is a lesser chance of something happening.
Both phrases have the same meaning, the first one just emphasizes there might be more possible chances, and the second indicates just one. I also added “happening” at the end because it’s more natural to say.
Hope that helps!
