Vilafranquense form and stats

1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Vilafranquense playing as the away team in the Segunda Liga this season. Sharing is caring, but Vilafranquense are perhaps overdoing it with their four draws in a row. Two points from the last two away games for Vilafranquense, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

The attacking players of Vilafranquense have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 184 minutes. The Vilafranquense goalkeeper Adilson Aguero dos Santos is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Vilafranquense played 0-0 against Académica in their previous match. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Chaves that ended 0-0.

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 Vilafranquense playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, one draw and one home win.

Vilafranquense have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 5 away games in the league. Vilafranquense's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 8 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head
