It's early days in the Segunda Liga and both Leixões and Mafra are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Leixões and Mafra.

Leixões form and stats

A Segunda Liga draw at home so far for Leixões. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats from 13 matches.

Leixões's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Mafra (placed 2nd). A 0-0 draw away before that, with Arouca the opponent.

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 Leixões have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 16 matches with the results: Won seven, drawn four and lost five.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Leixões at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Mafra form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Segunda Liga, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from 12 matches.

Mafra have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper. It's been 182 minutes since they last conceded in Segunda Liga.

Mafra play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Leixões (placed 14th). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Academico Viseu.

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

It's early days yet, but Mafra has scored 4 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Leixões-Mafra H2H statistics last seven meetings regardless of arena: Leixões three wins, Mafra three wins, one draw. one of these seven matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
