• haven't won against Mafra in their last 3 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 4 league matches at home.

Mafra

Since being beaten in their last game against Chaves in LigaPro competition, Mafra and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

The numbers tell their own story, and Mafra have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 9 goals overall. In defence, Mafra seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend will be continued on in this game.
