Porto II form and stats

With 2 Segunda Liga wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Porto II, who have the most conceded goals (26) in Segunda Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home stadium (Estádio Dr. Jorge Sampaio) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Porto II it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Porto drew their last game, 1-1 away at Cova Piedade (placed 11th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Academico Viseu (2-3).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Porto II have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn four and lost two.

The Porto fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 7 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Porto II defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Leixões form and stats

Leixões have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Segunda Liga, after 0-2-5 (7 played). A depressing four defeats in a row for Leixões in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Academico Viseu.

A draw for Leixões before that, at their own venue hosting Sporting Covilha (0-0).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leixões playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were three Leixões wins, seven draws and seven defeats.

Goals are few and far between in Leixões's away league games. Only 3 goals from 7 travels. Leixões have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Porto, two draws and five wins for Leixões. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
