Sandinenses form and stats

Let's have a look at how Sandinenses performed last season in the 2. Division: Centro: They landed a 6th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 10 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 25 and conceded {24 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 6 and lost 4 with 11/14 goals scored/conceded.

The manager Martins was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground. Sandinenses suffered a 2-5 loss to Tirsense (placed 2nd). As you can tell from the result, the match against Tirsense was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

A 3-3 draw at Famalicao's stadium before that.
