Competition: Portugal Segunda Liga
Date: Sun 26.January
Match begins: 17:15 (UTC)
Venue: Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior (2500 seats)

Vilafranquense hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 17 points and a 16th position in the Segunda Liga table. Visiting Feirense holds 12th place with 23 pts.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

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