This match features two teams living in the basement of the 2. Division: Group A, Cerveira holding 16th place and Bragança lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Bragança's home stadium. The visitors last four games on artificial turf have ended in 0 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses.
Cerveira form and stats
Cerveira's struggle is real here with only 5 points collected from 8 2. Division: Group A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-5. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Cerveira, their manager Francisco Tobias and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The home team returns after sharing the points with Oliveirense (placed 17th) on their last time out; the 2. Division: Group A game ended 2-2. Preceding that match was a defeat to Chaves II (2-5).
A case of two points dropped for Cerveira in the Oliveirense match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
Cerveira have scored 6 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cerveira defense is not exactly impregnable. 14 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Bragança form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bragança so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Bragança are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Câmara de Lobos fixture. Bragança has drawn their two previous away games.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 2. Division: Group A home defeat versus União Madeira with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Vitória Guimarães II.
Bragança did not look prepared in the first half against União Madeira and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bragança as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. Bragança have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for Cerveira, 1 draw and 0 wins for Bragança. Over 2,5 goals: 0 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 games.Cerveira missing players
