It's advantage Sanjoanense so far with their 6th position in the 2. Division: Group B table, welcoming Gafanha who are placed 11th.
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.

Gafanha form and stats
4-2-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Gafanha in their matches away. It's looking increasingly bleak for Gafanha who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Cesarense was the last time a defeat was avoided. Gafanha seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?Gafanha play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Pedras Rubras (placed 14th). Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Lusitania FC Lourosa.
The schedule is very tough for Gafanha now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A 2. Division: Group B game at Sanjoanense is waiting in only zero days.
The travelling fans enjoy Gafanha's attacking play in away games, having scored 20 goals in 11 away matches. The Gafanha manager Paulo Matos has some worries about the defense as 25 goals have been conceded in these travels.
