Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Praiense - Fátima!
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.
Praiense form and stats
8-1-1 is the performance here at Estádio Municipal da Praia da Vitória so far in the 2. Division: Group C, giving Praiense a total of 25 from their 10 games here. Outstanding results! Ever since the Caldas game Praiense has been unbeatable here at Estádio Municipal da Praia da Vitória producing seven straight wins.
Praiense are confident in defense, having played 285 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Praiense are returning here after visiting Beira-Mar in a 2. Division: Group C game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Marcos Silva scored the goal(s). Before that game, the 4-0 home victory against Oliveira Hospital.
Tiago Maia was on the receiving end of a red card in the Praiense-Beira-Mar match, being sent off in the 43rd minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory. Manager F. de Matos Agatão felt very clever after Marcos Silva scored the winning goal against Beira-Mar, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 79th minute. A late climax in the match against Beira-Mar as the winning goal came three minutes into overtime; scored by Marcos Silva.
Praiense can score goals in their home matches. After 10 league matches they have found the net 21 times. Praiense have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Fátima form and stats
Playing away, Fátima have won 2 games, drawn 7 and suffered 1 defeat in the 2. Division: Group C this season. It's three draws from Fátima's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Fátima's last game was the home draw against União Santarém (3-3). A 1-1 draw at Benfica Castelo Branco's stadium before that.
Drawing 3-3 against União Santarém after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-0. Their manager Daniel Portela needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against União Santarém was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Fátima are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 10 games (in the league). 10 goals have been conceded by Fátima in these games.
