Farense form and stats

The story so far in the Primeira Liga for Farense, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Primeira Liga, at their home stadium (Estádio de São Lúis) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Farense are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Portimonense. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Paços de Ferreira.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
