Chaves form and stats

0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Chaves playing as the away team in the Segunda Liga this season. Chaves has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The attacking players of Chaves have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 195 minutes.

Chaves's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Trofense that finished 0-0.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Casa Pia wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Chaves playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Chaves win, zero draws and three defeats.

Chaves find the net regularly in their away games. 5 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. The Chaves manager V. de Carvalho Campelos has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

As for the last seven games between these two teams, there's three Nacional victories, one draw and three Chaves wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
