Competition: Portugal 2. Division: Group D
Date: Sun 02.February
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)

An important duel in the bottom section of the 2. Division: Group D, with both Sintra and Sacavenense experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 18th place.

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.

Sintra form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the 2. Division: Group D this season. Sintra have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 5 losses from their games here. All in all it has been a very rough period for Sintra who hasn’t won a game in their last 14 attempts. Their previous win was against Loures, 133 days ago. With nine home games in a row without a win, the Sintra fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Fabril Barreiro game long ago, can be stopped today.

The fans are hoping that Sintra will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the 2. Division: Group D game against Fabril Barreiro (placed 16th). Preceding that match was a defeat to 1º Dezembro (0-2).

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Sintra here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 10 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sintra defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Sacavenense form and stats

There's been little loot from Sacavenense's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 9 away games in the 2. Division: Group D. Sacavenense only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. Sacavenense are desperate to end a 13-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Fabril Barreiro fixture. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Sacavenense have lost on their last two travels.

Sacavenense delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Alverca (placed 3rd) in their previous match; a 2. Division: Group D game. A 1-3 defeat away at Olimpico do Montijo before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sacavenense as they have only managed to score 6 times from 9 away games in the league. The Sacavenense manager R. Ferreira Gomes has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
