Paços de Ferreira form and stats

The season before, Paços de Ferreira's league statistics were 9 wins, 11 draws and 14 losses, resulting in 11th spot in the Primeira Liga. Over these 34 matches they scored 29 goals and conceded 44. Appearing as the host team in the last season Paços de Ferreira delivered 5-6-6 (win-draw-lost) with 19 goals and 22 conceded.

Paços de Ferreira are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 270 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Silva).

No payout for Paços de Ferreira in their previous match, an away game at Gil Vicente that ended in defeat 0-1. Midfielder Thomas was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.35 (out of ten) in that game. Thomas hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.

Ahead of that match, Ferreira lost 0-2 at home to Benfica.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Paços de Ferreira have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 9 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Portimonense form and stats

Let's have a look at how Portimonense performed last season in the Primeira Liga: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 8 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 31 and conceded 45 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 7 with 16/23 goals scored/conceded.

Portimonense might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Boavista proved too strong as Portimonense slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Municipal de Portimão. Estrela got a match rating of 8.13 in that game, top player of the team. Estrela hit five key passes and had 47 successful passes (of 53 total).

Preceding that game was the away victory against Marítimo with the score of 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Portimonense playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 5 Portimonense wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
