The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. União Madeira are in the 12th position while the guesting Pedras Salgadas worry at 14th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
União Madeira form and stats
When playing at home in the 2. Division: Group A, União Madeira have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 5 defeats from 10 games.
Preceding that match was a defeat to AR São Martinho (1-4).
The defeat against Mirandela was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored seven minutes into stoppage time (by Matheus Brito).
A decent goal production from União Madeira in their home games so far, with 16 goals from 10 league matches. União Madeira have conceded 17 from these games.
Pedras Salgadas form and stats
There's been little loot from Pedras Salgadas's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 10 away games in the 2. Division: Group A. Pedras Salgadas only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 2. Division: Group A home defeat versus Chaves II with 1-3 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Vizela wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Pedras Salgadas as they have only managed to score 8 times from 10 away games in the league. The Pedras Salgadas manager R. Mendes Teixeira has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
