Farense hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 25 points and a 17th position in the Primeira Liga table. Visiting Portimonense holds 10th place with 32 pts.
- Farense have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Primeira Liga
Farense and Portimonense should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Farense form and stats
With 3 Primeira Liga wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Farense, who have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Primeira Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Farense are slowly digging their own grave here at Estádio de São Lúis with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Gil Vicente match.
A strong away win for Farense against Pacos de Ferreira the last match, as Ryan Gauld and Fabrício Isidoro were on target. Ahead of that match, Farense lost 0-1 at home to Sporting CP.
This is expected to be a close game, with Farense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Farense as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Farense has won six of these, drawn four and lost two.
Farense are traveling soon after this match as the Primeira Liga match at Gil Vicente awaits in four days.
Farense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Farense have conceded 17 goals.
Portimonense form and stats
There's been little loot from Portimonense's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 14 away games in the Primeira Liga. Portimonense only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. Portimonense has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Portimonense's previous game was their home loss versus Benfica (1-5). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Famalicão at their stadium, the result 1-0.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Benfica was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Portimonense in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Portimonense, three draws and six defeats.
A new game in only four days for Portimonense, the Primeira Liga home match versus Rio Ave. Busy days.
The attacking power of Portimonense when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 14 league matches away. Portimonense struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 21 goals conceded from these games.
