Varzim have less rest than Vilafranquense in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Segunda Liga game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Estádio Varzim Sport Club. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Vilafranquense have had more rest.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Vilafranquense have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-12-23 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.
