Estrela Amadora form and stats

Three Segunda Liga home games done for Estrela Amadora, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.

A good away victory last time out for Estrela, who won 3-0 against Ferreiras.

Prior to that, an away loss at Varzim in the Segunda Liga.

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 Estrela Amadora have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won one, drawn zero and lost two.

A decent goal production from Estrela in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. As for conceded goals, Estrela's unpleasant statistic is 8 goals surrendered.

Leixões form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Segunda Liga for Leixões with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

It's the second away game in a row for Leixões, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Sao Joao Ver (after extra-time) in the Taça De Portugal last time out.

Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Academico Viseu.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leixões playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were three Leixões wins, nine draws and four defeats.

2 goals so far away for Leixões, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Data for the former four meetings featuring these two sides are: two wins for Estrela, two draws and zero wins for Leixões. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: three games.
