Porto II form and stats

1 victory, 4 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Porto II have to build on here at Estádio Dr. Jorge Sampaio in the Segunda Liga. The last three games played by Porto, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Stress levels are on the rise for Porto II's attacking players as they have now played 193 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. Ndiaye was their last goal scorer. The Porto goalkeeper Ricardo Manuel Rodrigues Vieira Silva is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 226 minutes without conceding a goal in the Segunda Liga.

Porto travelled for their previous game, a trip to Estrela Amadora that ended 0-0.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Porto handle that role? We have found 14 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, four draws and five defeats.

Varzim form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Segunda Liga travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. It's looking increasingly bleak for Varzim who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Estrela Amadora was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Varzim aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 344 league minutes without a goal. Heliardo was the last player to find the net.

Varzim might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Vilafranquense proved too strong as Varzim slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Varzim Sport Club.

A 0-2 loss hosting Benfica II before that.

We have checked recent matches where Varzim have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 16 games were one victory, six draws and nine defeats.

The attacking power of Varzim when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. Varzim have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Porto victories, two draws and five Varzim wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
