Insights:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Santa and Farense.

Santa can neither be promoted or relegated from Primeira Liga. Farense are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Santa Clara form and stats

6 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Santa Clara have to build on here at Estádio de São Miguel in the Primeira Liga.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Santa, as their goalkeeper Marco Andre Rocha Pereira has completely shut out the opponents for 188 minutes in the Primeira Liga.

It's back home for Santa, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Belenenses away with the result 2-0. Carlos Junior (2) found the net in that victory. Nobody expected Santa to beat Belenenses in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Midfield player Carlos Junior got a match rating of 8.41 in that game, the max score being 10. Junior scored two goals.

Ahead of that match, Santa won a home game hosting Rio Ave (1-0).

Santa Clara has scored 22 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. 16 goals have been conceded.

Farense form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Farense so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-9 (win-draw-lose).

Farense are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Primeira Liga against Tondela (placed 12th). Defender Eduardo Mancha was the best team player with a rating of 8.03. Mancha won 3 of 4 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Porto wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.

The attacking power of Farense when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 16 league matches away. Farense struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 24 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Farense - Santa 1-1. Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Santa, two draws and three wins for Farense. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
