UD Oliveirense form and stats

UD Oliveirense's results here at Estádio Carlos Osório in the Segunda Liga have been very modest with 3 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats.

Oliveirense are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Arouca. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Leixoes.

Oliveirense have scored 12 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, UD Oliveirense have conceded 17 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Mafra form and stats

There's been little loot from Mafra's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 14 away games in the Segunda Liga. Mafra only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. With the Mafra losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. It's all red in the travel logs of Mafra, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Segunda Liga home defeat versus Casa Pia with 0-4 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Vilafranquense wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Casa Pia was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

The attacking power of Mafra when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Mafra struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 22 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Mafra - Oliveirense 2-2, played this season. Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Oliveirense, two draws and one win for Mafra. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: one game.
