Covilha Preview – Can Covilha keep in touch?
Sporting Covilha’s promising 4-match run without defeat in the Portuguese LigaPro came to an end last time out when they were handed a 4-2 defeat away from home at 14th placed Porto B, so the hosts will be desperate to bounce back at home on Monday night.
With 9 points separating 6th placed Covilha from 2nd placed Farense who occupy the other automatic promotion spot, tonight’s match represents a ‘must-win’ game for Covilha if they’re to stay in touch with the top two clubs, and they’ll be keen to build upon their 1-0 win over 4th placed Estoril last time out on home turf.
An overall home record of 4-2-3 11/9 is okay but recent defeats to Feirense and Academica have been disappointing losses for Covilha and has resulted in them losing ground on the promotion spots.
However, one thing in Covilha’s favour is that they’ve won the last three meetings on the trot against Oliveirense and will be keen to extend that to four on the trot tonight.
Oliveirense Preview – Can Oliveirense keep run going?
Fourth from bottom club, Oliveirense, bring an encouraging 3-match unbeaten run into this Monday night clash at the Estádio Municipal José dos Santos Pinto having picked up points in 0-0 and 1-1 draws with Nacional and Feirense respectively, along with securing all three points in their resounding 4-0 home win over Varzim.
Oliveirense had previously suffered back-to-back defeats to Academica and Mafra and although they occupy a lowly position in the Portuguese second tier, they hold a useful 10-point cushion above the relegation zone so there’s no immediate worries on that front for the visitors.
However, having registered just 1 away win out of their last 6 matches on the road, Oliveirense will be eager to stop the bleeding on their travels as they attempt to improve upon a poor away record of 2-2-5 13/16.
