Feirense

LLDLLD 📉

Feirense prepare for this fixture after a 0-0 LigaPro drawn game versus Mafra.

In that match, Feirense managed 30% possession and 4 attempts at goal with 1 on target. Mafra had 7 shots at goal with 3 on target.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Feirense have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Feirense have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 10 goals in the process.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Feirense:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Leixões in their last 3 matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 4 league games. That's never good.

Leixões

DWDDDD 📈

Previously, Leixões drew 1-1 in the LigaPro match with União Torreense.

In that match, Leixões managed 51% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. For their opponents, União Torreense had 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Patrick (21') scored for União Torreense.

A run of resolute performances from the Leixões defenders has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their past 6 clashes overall. In that period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 5. While that may be of interest, it remains to be seen whether that pattern will be maintained in this next game or not.

Their past results show that Leixões:

• are undefeated by Feirense when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 4 league matches away from home.
