Alverca
DWDDWW 📈
Alverca will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 0-2 LigaPro success versus Chaves.
The only name on the scoresheet from Alverca was Reinaldo (52').
Their latest results highlight the fact that much respect should be given to the Alverca defence. Alverca have been mean at the back, seeing the number of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their previous six outings standing at 3.
Going into this encounter, Alverca haven't been defeated in their previous 13 league matches at home. What a fortress.
Paços de Ferreira
LWLLLL 📉
After tasting defeat last time out to União Leiria in LigaPro competition, Paços de Ferreira will be hoping to turn things around here.
For Paços de Ferreira, the scorers were Antunes (25') and Vladislav Morozov (84'). Juan Muñoz (40', 79') was the scorer for União Leiria.
The stats tell the story, and Paços de Ferreira have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals overall. At the back, Paços de Ferreira certainly have room for improvement. That kind of trend might not follow through here, of course.
Ahead of this meeting, Paços de Ferreira are without a win away from home in their last 5 league matches.
