There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Chaves leading Vilafranquense by 8 points.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Vilafranquense 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 8-8-14 (win-draw-loss) from 30 matches.
Chaves form and stats
Overall Segunda Liga stats at home this season for Chaves are 1-1-1 (wins-draw-losses).
A strong away win for Chaves against Porto II the last match, as Luís Rocha and Niltinho were on target. Ahead of that match, Chaves lost 0-2 at home to UD Oliveirense.
The lack of attacking qualities in Chaves means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Chaves are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

The travelling fans enjoy Vilafranquense's attacking play in away games, having scored 7 goals in 4 league matches away. The Vilafranquense manager J. Gonçalves has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.
