The season has been a struggle for Varzim so far, and you could say the same about Farense. These brave battlers would do anything for some vital points here.
- Varzim is in the worst form (0-1-5)
- Farense have the most dropped points from leading position (11) in Segunda Liga
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Varzim form and stats
With 1 Segunda Liga win, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Varzim are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Varzim with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Porto II game, 51 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
No payout for Varzim in their previous match, an away game at Sporting Covilha that ended in defeat 0-1.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Trofense (1-3).Varzim have scored 6 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Varzim have conceded 15 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Farense form and stats
There's been little loot from Farense's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Segunda Liga. Farense only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 4 draws.
Farense lost away at Chaves (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Nacional.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Farense have scored 9 goals in 8 league games away. Farense's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips. When Farense is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Vilafranquense, Academico Viseu, Académica, Farense and Sporting Covilha.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last five matches): Varzim one win, two draws and Farense two victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
