Our tips

SC Farense performance check

Currently, SC Farense is experiencing a challenging phase in the Primeira Liga. With only three victories to their name this season, the team has struggled to maintain consistency, resulting in a third of their matches ending in draws and more than half in defeats. Their goal difference of 12:25 indicates defensive frailties that have plagued their campaign thus far. At home, they have managed just two wins from nine matches, highlighting their struggle to convert home advantage into points. Coach Antonio José Marreco De Gouveia will need to instill confidence and tactical discipline in his squad to turn their fortunes around. The team's recent form, having gone winless in their last five league matches, further exacerbates the pressure they face heading into this critical encounter.

How is the current performance of CD Nacional

CD Nacional, under the guidance of their manager, has had a somewhat turbulent season, currently lying just above the relegation zone with 19 points. Their record of five wins, four draws, and eleven defeats illustrates the inconsistency that has characterized their campaign. Notably, their away form is particularly concerning, as they have yet to secure a victory on the road, managing only three draws and suffering seven losses. This lack of success away from home will undoubtedly weigh on the players' confidence, as they look to improve their performance in front of what is expected to be a passionate away crowd. Despite losing their last match against FC Arouca, their two wins in the preceding fixtures suggest that they may have the potential to upset SC Farense if they can harness their momentum effectively.
