Chaves form and stats

Chaves have collected 23 points from their Liga Portugal home games so far after 6-5-5. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Chaves, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Chaves are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Arouca. Before that match this club had gone six consecutive league meetings without a defeat. Chaves's goalkeeper Vítor was extremely busy against Arouca, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Paços de Ferreira.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Chaves have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Trench warfare? In this team's last 10 league matches, 8 have contained zero, one or two goals.

Chaves are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 16 games. On the other hand, Chaves have conceded 17 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
