Mafra form and stats

6 victories, 8 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Mafra have to build on here at Estádio Municipal de Mafra.

In their previous game, the manager Nuno Capucho led his Mafra to a defeat in the Segunda Liga match away at Paços de Ferreira. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Municipal de Mafra. Ahead of that match, Mafra won a home game hosting Cova Piedade (1-0).

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 Mafra have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 2 Lost 0.

The Mafra fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 21 in 16 matches. Mafra are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Municipal de Mafra, averaging less than one per game. The total is 15 from 16 matches.

Farense form and stats

Farense have only collected 10 points from their away games after 2-4-10 (16 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Farense delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Arouca in their previous match; a Segunda Liga game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against UD Oliveirense wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Farense playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were 3 Farense wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 16 away games, an average of less than one per game. 23 goals have been conceded by Farense in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Farense - Mafra 1-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last nine meetings): Mafra won 2 games, 4 matches ended with a draw and Farense has 3 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 4 / 5
