Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior (2500 seats)

Vilafranquense will pray that their home advantage is enough to get a good result from this demanding encounter, versus high-powered Casa Pia.

Insights:
  • Vilafranquense have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Casa Pia have the fewest conceded goals (10) in Segunda Liga

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Casa Pia have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 3-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.

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.

Vilafranquense form and stats

With 1 Segunda Liga win, 5 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Vilafranquense are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Vilafranquense travelled for their previous game, a trip to Benfica II that ended 0-0.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Porto II in a game that was won 2-1.

Vilafranquense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Vilafranquense have conceded 12 from these games.

Home advantage was not enough for Casa in their previous game, as they lost their Taça De Portugal-match, hosting Sporting CP, 1-2.

A loss against Rio Ave was the result prior to that, in a Segunda Liga home game.
