Mafra form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Segunda Liga this season. Mafra have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Estádio Municipal de Mafra.

A nice win for Mafra last time playing, versus Moreirense. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Andrézinho, Bura and Silva scoring for the victors. Things did not look good last match, when Guilherme got a red card in the 33rd minute. They were already behind at this time, but a tremendous finish from Mafra resulted in a win!

Before that, Mafra drew at home versus Academica.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Mafra's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won zero matches, drawn four and lost one.

Varzim form and stats

Two away games in a row for Varzim, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Sporting Covilha in the Segunda Liga.

A 1-3 loss hosting Trofense before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Varzim when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning zero games.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Farense in just four days.

The attacking power of Varzim when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Varzim have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
