UD Oliveirense form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Segunda Liga travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats. With the UD Oliveirense losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Oliveirense failed to get anything from their last game, a Segunda Liga home match vs Arouca (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 1-2. The game before that, in the Taça De Portugal, was lost at home, a 0-4 defeat against Paços de Ferreira.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Oliveirense playing away, we found eight games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and six home wins.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 5 goals have been conceded by Oliveirense in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: one win for Mafra, one draw and two wins for UD Oliveirense. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: one game.
