Torreense form and stats

Last season, Torreense's league results were 13 wins, 5 draws and 16 losses, providing 9th position in the Segunda Liga. In these 34 matches they scored {38 goals} and gave away 41. Appearing as the home team in the former season Torreense produced 8-3-6 (win-draw-lost) with {22 goals} and 15 conceded.

Torreense are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Santa Clara.

Preceding that result, a home loss in the League Cup against Casa Pia. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Torreense have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 5 and lost 2.
