Chaves form and stats
Seven points from three Segunda Liga home games is a great start for Chaves, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira. Two home wins in a row for Chaves bring valid hopes of a third.
In their previous game, the manager V. de Carvalho Campelos led his Chaves to a defeat in the Segunda Liga match away at Benfica II. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira.
Prior to that, an away loss at Felgueiras 1932 in the Taça De Portugal.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Chaves have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won four times, drawn six and lost three.
Chaves are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira in their league games, having scored an impressive 8 goals in 3 matches. Chaves have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Penafiel form and stats
Penafiel are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Segunda Liga, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
The supporters enjoyed Penafiel's previous game versus Mafra (placed 7th), a Segunda Liga 2-1 win played at home. The end of the last match, against Mafra, was very satisfying as Roberto scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Preceding that game was the away Taça De Portugal victory against Maria da Fonte with the score of 1-0.Penafiel are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and ten defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
The attacking power of Penafiel when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
Head 2 Head
Stats for the former ten meetings featuring these two participants are: five wins for Chaves, two draws and three wins for Penafiel. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
