Vilafranquense hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 27 points and a 15th position in the Segunda Liga table. Visiting Leixões holds 10th place with 33 pts.
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.
0 - 1 - 1 with 1-3. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Leixões when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Leixões play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
Vilafranquense form and stats
When playing at home in the Segunda Liga, Vilafranquense have managed 2 wins, 9 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 14 games.
Vilafranquense are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Estoril. Before that, Vilafranquense had a home game versus Mafra which ended with a victory 2-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Vilafranquense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Vilafranquense as a small favourite), we find nine games. Vilafranquense has won four of these, drawn four and lost one.
Vilafranquense have scored 13 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. Vilafranquense have conceded 16 in these home matches.
Leixões form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Leixões so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-7 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Leixões are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Leixões are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Segunda Liga against Penafiel (placed 7th). Prior to that match, the Leixões manager J. Ferreira da Mota faced defeat when travelling to UD Oliveirense and losing 1-2.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leixões playing away and similar expectations, we found 18 relevant matches. Results were three Leixões wins, eight draws and seven defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Leixões as they have only managed to score 11 times from 14 away games in the league. Leixões have conceded 18 goals in these away matches.
