Porto II form and stats

With 2 Segunda Liga wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Porto II, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Segunda Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Porto, who played 1-1 against Benfica II. That match was also played at this venue (Estádio Dr. Jorge Sampaio). Prior to that, an away loss at Feirense.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Porto handle that role? We have found 16 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are seven wins, three draws and six defeats.

A decent goal production from Porto in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. Porto have conceded 16 from these games.

Varzim form and stats

There's been little loot from Varzim's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 8 away games in the Segunda Liga. Varzim, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in Segunda Liga, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws.

Varzim has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to UD Oliveirense for a Segunda Liga game that ended a draw (1-1). A 0-1 loss hosting Casa Pia before that.

We have checked recent matches where Varzim have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 18 games were two victories, five draws and eleven defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Varzim as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Varzim have conceded 12 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Varzim - Porto II 1-0 earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Porto, two draws and five wins for Varzim. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
