The story so far in the Primeira Liga for Paços de Ferreira at their home stadium (Estádio da Capital do Móvel) is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Happy days for Ferreira in their previous game, a Taça De Portugal match away at Aguias do Moradal that ended with a 3-0 victory.

Heartbreak before that as Ferreira lost 1-2 at Porto's place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
