Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Progresso languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Sagrada Esperança will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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!
Sagrada Esperança have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Progresso form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Progresso have to build on here in the Girabola. It's trouble wherever Progresso are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Progresso lost their last game at 1 de Agosto (placed 1st) after a 0-4 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Progresso lost 0-1 at Onze Bravos's place.
Progresso were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Progresso, as the Girabola home game vs Petro de Luanda is only one day away.
Progresso have scored 6 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Progresso have conceded only 6 goals.
Sagrada Esperança form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sagrada Esperança so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-5 (win-draw-lose).
It might be tough going out on the road again for Sagrada Esperança, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Interclube (placed 7th). Prior to that result Sagrada Esperança won their away game at Cubango. The scoreline was 1-0.
After this away game Sagrada Esperança return home for a Girabola game against Onze Bravos. That game is only one sleeps after this.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Sagrada Esperança's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 9 matches. It's not easy to score on Sagrada Esperança as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
