Famalicão form and stats

Last season, Famalicão's league stats were 9 wins, 12 draws and 13 losses, results that produced 8th position in the Primeira Liga. During these 34 matches they scored 45 goals and let in 51. Playing at their own stadium in the last season Famalicão managed 5-7-5 (win-draw-lost) with 22 goals and 21 conceded.

No payout for Famalicão in their previous match, an away game at Estoril that ended in defeat 0-2. The penalty miss from Millán in the defeat against Estoril was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen. Defender Penetra got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.6/10. Penetra hit one key pass and won 8 of 10 duels.

Before that, Famalicão had a home game versus Sporting Braga which ended with a victory 3-2.

Sporting Braga form and stats

Let's have a look at how Sporting Braga performed last season in the Primeira Liga: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 19 victories, 8 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 52 and conceded 31 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 4 and lost 4 with 25/18 goals scored/conceded.

There were no winners in Sporting Braga's previous match, the home game that ended 3-3 vs Sporting CP (placed 8th). A stark raving crazy fixture with lots of goals last time out for Braga, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that match, will this fixture be as enjoying? As mentioned above, Sporting Braga drew the match against Sporting CP. Manager Jorge brought on Ruíz to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Defender Silva was the best team player with a rating of 7.35. Silva hit one key pass and won 4 of 5 duels.

Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Famalicão's place.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last six meetings: one - four - one (Famalicão wins - draws - Sporting Braga wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less. The matches between these sides sometimes lean towards being brutal, having seen 6 sending-offs from the last six duels.
