Farense form and stats

With 1 Segunda Liga win, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Farense are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The fans are hoping that Farense will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Segunda Liga game against Chaves (placed 6th).

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Nacional that ended 2-2.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Farense handle that role? We have found eight games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are two wins, three draws and three defeats.

Farense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. Farense have conceded 9 in these home matches.
