Farense lost their last game at Porto (placed 3rd) after a 1-2 scoreline. Heartbreak for Farense in their last match as Porto's Marcano scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Costa, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the champion player for the side in that match, receiving a rating of 7.42 (out of 10). Costa scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Casa Pia (0-3).

Chaves form and stats

Chaves have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Liga Portugal were 6 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats from 17 fixtures.

Chaves might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sporting Braga proved too strong as Chaves slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira. A mental match with heaps of goals last time out for Chaves, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this game be as refreshing? Attacker Hernandez got a player rating of 8.4 in the game. "Man of the match" Hernandez scored two goals.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rio Ave wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 7 similar matches played by Chaves in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Chaves, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Chaves has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the previous ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Farense, two draws and six wins for Chaves. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
