Famalicao Preview – Can Famalicao keep heads above water?
A high-scoring 3-2 loss away from home at Porto on the weekend resulted in Famalicao dropping down to 14th place in the Primeira Liga ladder and now just two points above the relegation play-off spot prior to this Friday’s crucial encounter against Santa Clara.
Having managed to win just one of their last five matches overall in the Portuguese top flight, Famalicao are still not out of the woods yet in terms of possible relegation so the hosts really need a win here to boost their chances of survival.
However, just one win at home out of their last 11 matches played on home soil doesn’t inspire much confidence in a home win here but four of their last seven meetings against Santa Clara have seen both teams score so the goals market appeals here.
Santa Clara Preview – Can Santa Clara stay in touch?
7th placed Santa Clara’s European hopes are now hanging by a thread after failing to win a fourth game on the trot in the Primeira Liga following a 3-3 draw at home with lowly Boavista and with four matches remaining, Santa Clara trail 5th placed Pacos Ferreira by a 12-point margin.
The equation is now simple for the visitors; Santa Clara now must win all of their remaining four matches and hope Pacos Ferreira slip up in order to grab a possible top five finish but the odds seem firmly stacked against the visitors.
To make matters worse, Santa Clara have managed to win just one of their last seven matches overall while also losing their last five away games on the trot, but goals could feature here as 10 of Santa Clara’s 15 away matches have seen both teams score.
