The visiting Vitória SC side should be favourites in this visit to Farense, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their 30 league games this season.
- Farense have the fewest clean sheets (5) in Primeira Liga
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Relegation threatens Farense who should definitely be looking for some points here. Vitória are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Farense form and stats
With 3 Primeira Liga wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Farense, who have the fewest clean sheets (5) 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 eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Gil Vicente match.
Farense shared the glory with Gil Vicente in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Before that, Farense drew at home versus Portimonense.
The manager J. Costa Almeida will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Porto in only four days.
The Farense fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 15 matches. Farense's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
