It's early days in the Segunda Liga and both Chaves and Cova Piedade are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It's no vacation for neither Chaves nor Cova Piedade as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Cova Piedade have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-11-27 (win-draw-loss) from 48 matches.
Chaves form and stats
A Segunda Liga draw at home so far for Chaves. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from 12 matches.
A strong away win for Chaves against Benfica II the last match, as Benny, João Correia, André Luis and João Bachi were on target. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Varzim that ended 0-0.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Manager J. Alves Ferreira Pinto felt very clever after André Luis scored the winning goal against Benfica II, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 61st minute.
Chaves are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found three matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won two, drew zero and lost one.
