Feirense form and stats

When playing at home in the Segunda Liga, Feirense have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games.

A good away victory last time out for Feirense, who won 1-0 against Trofense (placed 11th). The victory against Trofense came after Petkov's winning goal. The Feirense manager da Silva Ferreira was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 61st minute.

Preceding that match was the home game against Penafiel that was lost 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Feirense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Feirense as a small favourite), we find eight games. Feirense has won five of these, drawn one and lost two.

The Feirense fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 13 goals in 8 league matches. On the other hand, Feirense have conceded 11 goals.
