It's still early in the Segunda Liga season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Porto II - Penafiel preview!
It's no vacation for neither Porto II nor Penafiel as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Porto II form and stats
The hosts won their first Segunda Liga game here at Estádio Dr. Jorge Sampaio, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Porto II last season were 3 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses from 12 games.
An away draw last time out for Porto, facing UD Oliveirense in a game that ended 2-2. Before that game, the 4-1 home victory against Vizela.

Penafiel form and stats
Penafiel have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Segunda Liga were 2 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats from 12 fixtures.
Penafiel might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Vilafranquense proved too strong as Penafiel slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Municipal 25 de Abril. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against UD Oliveirense wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Penafiel are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, zero draws and seven defeats. From a total of nine matches.
It's early days yet, but Penafiel has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Porto wins - draws - Penafiel wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Porto II missing players
