Farense
LLDWLL
Farense will be hoping for a better result following a 1-0 Primeira Liga loss in their previous game against Gil Vicente.
In that game, Farense had 46% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. At the other end, Gil Vicente got 14 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Mohamed Bamba (92') scored for Gil Vicente.
An interesting feature of recent Farense games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.
From their prior 6 matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on both teams scoring would've been a losing one. Such a trend won’t necessarily be carried forward here, however.
Taking a look at their past results, Farense:
- are unbeaten in the league by Famalicão in their last 2 matches.
- are without a home win in the past 9 league matches. Something needs to change.
Famalicão

In a total of 5 out of the previous 6 clashes featuring Famalicão, at least three goals have gone in. The overall average number of goals per match during that spell is 3.33, with the average number of goals for Famalicão coming out as 2.
Ahead of this meeting, Famalicão are undefeated by Farense when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league games.

Team News: Farense
In all likelihood, Farense will possibly line up in a 4-4-2 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Kaique Pereira, Pastor, Claudio Falcão, Tomas Ribeiro, Derick Poloni, Rony Lopes, A. Pelegrinelli Neto, Samuel Justo, Paulo Victor, Tomane and Yusupha Njie.
🗞️
Team News: Famalicão
From a largely full-strength group of players, there’s just a single fitness issue for the Famalicão boss Hugo Oliveira to be concerned with. Ivan Zlobin (Kidney problems) won’t be in action.
From our viewpoint, Famalicenses might utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Lazar Carevic, Rodrigo Pinheiro, Leonardo Realpe, Justin De Haas, Rafa Soares, Mathias De Amorim, Tom van de Looi, Sorriso, Gustavo Sa, Gil Dias and Simon Elisor.
🔮
Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Famalicão and Farense may both struggle to make a breakthrough here.
Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw with few scoring chances is looking likely to us. We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought 0-0 scoreline at the end of this game.
