Feirense form and stats

When playing at home in the Segunda Liga, Feirense have managed 1 win, 6 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 8 games. Three draws in a row here at Estádio Marcolino de Castro for Feirense, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

The supporters are hoping that Feirense will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-4 away loss in the match against Estrela Amadora (placed 3rd).

Heartbreak before that as Feirense lost 2-4 at Torreense's place.

Both teams to score: YES! That has been the case in 5 league fixtures in a row for this team. Will it happen again?

Feirense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. On the other hand, Feirense have conceded 9 goals.

Sporting Covilhã form and stats

There's been little loot from Sporting Covilhã's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 8 away games in the Segunda Liga. Sporting Covilhã only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. A depressing five defeats in a row for Sporting Covilhã in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Farense.

The manager da Costa was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Estádio Municipal José dos Santos Pinto. Covilhã suffered a 1-2 loss to Porto II (placed 6th).

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Moreirense.

The attacking power of Sporting Covilhã when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away.
