Segunda Liga: We're previewing an interesting and crucial scrap starring Vilafranquense and Farense at Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior. Both are in need of a good run!
- Vilafranquense have yet to win a game at home.
- Farense have yet to win a game.
Both contenders have had ample time to rest since their last game. Let's have faith in that this will be an active match!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Farense 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 1-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.
Vilafranquense form and stats
Vilafranquense have played three Segunda Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
It's back home for Vilafranquense, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Imortal Albufeira away with the result 2-0.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Academica and winning 2-1.Vilafranquense have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Vilafranquense have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Farense form and stats
The Segunda Liga season is young and Farense have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
Two travels in a row for Farense, whose manager F. de Sousa Pires could celebrate last time after the Taça De Portugal win against Sao Roque (Acores).
A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Benfica II in the Segunda Liga.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Farense have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Farense's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 8 goals in 3 travels.
Head 2 Head
