The league table in Segunda Liga tells a story about these teams so far, with Mafra leading Varzim by 10 points. Match preview to follow:
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Taça De Portugal. That game was also an away game, at Rebordelo. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Mafra form and stats
As mentioned below, Mafra are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Segunda Liga games.

Varzim form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Segunda Liga for Varzim with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
