The visiting Caldas side should be favourites in this visit to União Santarém, as the away team holds a 10 point advantage from their 20 league games this season.
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!
União Santarém form and stats
União Santarém have collected 14 points from their 2. Division: Group C home games so far after 4-2-3. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as União Santarém has four draws from their last four matches.
The home team returns after being equal after 90 minutes with Fátima (placed 2nd) on their last time out; the 2. Division: Group C game ended 3-3. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Beira-Mar that ended 1-1.
Late drama in the game against Fátima as União Santarém were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Herlander popped out and made it level in the 90th minute. A goal frenzy last time out for União Santarém, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Fátima. Fun stuff to watch! The 3-3 game vs Fátima was a bittersweet experience for Herlander. Despite scoring three goals the match ended a draw.
União Santarém are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. 12 goals have been conceded.
Caldas form and stats
3 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Caldas playing as the away team in the 2. Division: Group C this season. In general it has been a productive period now for Caldas as they haven't lost any of their last 14 games. Caldas are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Fontinhas (placed 18th) in their previous outing. The 2. Division: Group C match ended in a draw 1-1. Before that, Caldas secured a home win against Águeda with the score 2-0.
Caldas find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 12 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Caldas have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
