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, Valadares Gaia in 11th and Canelas 2010 in 10th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Valadares Gaia form and stats
3-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the 2. Division: Group B numbers at home for Valadares Gaia, who have the most conceded goals (13) at home in 2. Division: Group B, so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Valadares Gaia with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Coimbrões game, 49 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Valadares Gaia manager Alexandre Ribeiro might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Valadares Gaia lost their last game at Lusitania FC Lourosa (placed 1st) after a 0-5 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Trofense that was lost 1-4.
Valadares Gaia were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
A decent goal production from Valadares Gaia in their home games so far, with 10 goals from 6 league matches. Valadares Gaia have conceded 13 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Canelas 2010 form and stats
0-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Canelas 2010 in their 2. Division: Group B matches away. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Canelas 2010 are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Canelas 2010 has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Pedras Salgadas for a Taça De Portugal game that ended a draw (0-0). A draw for Canelas 2010 before that, at their own venue hosting Espinho (2-2).
It looked so good for Canelas 2010 vs Pedras Salgadas, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 3-1 lead was turned into a 0-0 draw.
Canelas 2010 are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 5 away games. It's not easy to score on Canelas 2010 as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: 0 - 1 - 1 (Valadares Gaia wins - draws - Canelas 2010 wins). As for goals, 1 match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 1 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
