Feirense form and stats

Feirense have played 12 Segunda Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-4-2 (wins-draws-losses). Feirense haven’t lost a league-game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Farense, 89 days ago. Feirense has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estádio Marcolino de Castro. We remember; it was Casa Pia.

The Feirense goalkeeper Caio Gobbo Secco is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the Segunda Liga.

It's back home for Feirense, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Mafra away with the result 1-0. Guilherme Ramos found the net in that victory. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Academica.

Feirense has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Feirense are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Marcolino de Castro in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 12 matches.

Penafiel form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Penafiel so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-7 (win-draw-lose). Penafiel seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Penafiel lost away at Academica (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Nacional.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Penafiel as they have only managed to score 9 times from 12 away games in the league. 16 goals have been conceded by Penafiel in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Penafiel - Feirense 0-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Feirense victories, five draws and two Penafiel wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
