Varzim hope to fill the stadium for this game despite that the season has been back-breaking so far with 7 points and a 17th position in the Segunda Liga table. Opponents Penafiel own 8th place with 16 pts.
- Varzim have the the worst goal difference (-5) at home in Segunda Liga
- Penafiel have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Varzim form and stats
Varzim have played 5 Segunda Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Varzim, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
No payout for Varzim in their previous match, an away game at Sporting CP that ended in defeat 1-2.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Porto II that finished 2-2.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Varzim have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won six, drawn three and lost five.
Varzim has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Varzim with 10 goals conceded in these matches.
Penafiel form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Segunda Liga travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. The last three matches for Penafiel have all ended in a draw.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Taça De Portugal home defeat versus Portimonense with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Penafiel did not look prepared in the first half against Portimonense and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Leixoes in the Segunda Liga.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Penafiel playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Penafiel wins, four draws and three defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Penafiel have scored 5 goals in 5 league games away. 7 goals have been conceded by Penafiel in these games.
