Struggling Varzim will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Chaves in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Varzim has the fewest scored goals (11) in Segunda Liga
- Chaves have scored at least twice as many goals away as Varzim have scored home.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Varzim form and stats
Varzim's struggle is real here at Estádio Varzim Sport Club with only 6 points collected from 9 Segunda Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-5. With eight home Segunda Liga games in a row without a win, the Varzim fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Porto II game long ago, can be stopped today.
A good away victory last time out for Varzim, who won 1-0 against Porto II (placed 18th). 1-1 away at UD Oliveirense before that.
The lack of attacking qualities in Varzim means that they have only scored 4 goals in 9 league home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, Varzim have conceded 11 goals.
Chaves form and stats
Playing away, Chaves have won 5 games, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the Segunda Liga this season.
The manager J. Alves Ferreira Pinto was unhappy after their last game, a Segunda Liga match played at their home ground Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira. Chaves suffered a 0-1 loss to Feirense (placed 3rd). Before that, Chaves secured a home win against Arouca with the score 2-1.
Chaves are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 16 times in 9 away games so far. As opposed to that, Chaves have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Varzim and Chaves have met before this season: Chaves - Varzim 0-0. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Varzim four wins, five draws and Chaves one victory. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
