Sporting Covilhã form and stats
With 1 Segunda Liga win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Sporting Covilhã are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Sporting Covilhã hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Vilafranquense, Academico Viseu, Academica, Farense and Sporting Covilhã), they have won 1 of 2 matches! The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.
No payout for Covilhã in their previous match, an away game at Benfica that ended in defeat 0-3. Santos, defender, was given a rating of 7.03/10 in that game, top of the team. Santos hit one key pass and won 5 of 10 duels.
Heartbreak before that as Covilhã lost 1-2 at Leixoes's place.This is expected to be a close game, with Sporting Covilhã perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sporting Covilhã as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Sporting Covilhã has won four of these, drawn eight and lost four.
Sporting Covilhã have scored 4 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Covilhã have conceded 6 goals.
Varzim form and stats
Varzim have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Segunda Liga, after 0-3-4 (7 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Varzim as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Porto II match.
Varzim might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Trofense proved too strong as Varzim slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Varzim Sport Club.
Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Casa Pia's place.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Varzim playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were four Varzim wins, three draws and three defeats.
The attacking power of Varzim when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. 10 goals have been conceded by Varzim in these games.
