Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Gafanha in 11th and Águeda in 7th place.
Gafanha and Águeda should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Gafanha form and stats
Gafanha have played 11 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-4 (wins-draws-losses). With seven home games in a row without a win, the Gafanha fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Sanjoanense game long ago, can be stopped today. It's trouble wherever Gafanha are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now. They really need to get back to winning ways.Gafanha lost their last game at Sanjoanense (placed 6th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Pedras Rubras (1-2).
The Gafanha fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. 16 goals have been conceded.
Águeda form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. A great winning streak in away games for Águeda as they have managed to win four matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Espinho have they travelled home without three points.Águeda delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Lusitania FC Lourosa (placed 2nd) in their previous match; a 2. Division: Group B game. Preceding that game was the away victory against Paredes with the score of 1-0.
