This match features two teams residing in the cellar of the Liga Portugal, Santa Clara having 15th position and Paços de Ferreira sitting at 17th. A good opportunity for one of the contenders to boost their situation.
- Paços de Ferreira have lost all their matches so far.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Paços de Ferreira form and stats
