Penafiel Preview – Can Penafiel take advantage?
Although Sunday’s hosts, Penafiel, suffered a heavy 3-1 defeat away at Estoril last weekend in the Portuguese second tier, they now return to the more familiar surroundings of their Estádio Municipal 25 de Abril for this upcoming clash against basement dwellers, Varzim.
Having lost just one of their last eight matches overall, Penafiel will still fancy their chances of recording a bounce-back win here today, especially as the hosts have won five of their seven matches to date this term.
In addition, Penafiel’s overall form at home has been very solid indeed as the hosts have lost just one of their last 18 matches along with winning 2-0 in their last meeting at home against Varzim.
Varzim Preview – Can Varzim produce upset?
After recording an opening day 1-0 win at home against Porto B, Sunday’s visitors, Varzim, have since imploded in dramatic fashion as they’ve failed to win any of their subsequent 13 matches overall in the Portuguese second tier.
Nine defeats within this poor 13-match sequence has landed Varzim rock bottom of the Segunda Liga with just seven points to their name and the visitors now find themselves four points adrift of third from bottom outfit, Oliveirense, and safety.
Results away from home have also been poor as Varzim have lost five of their six matches on the road with defeats incurred at Sporting Covilha, Leixoes, Mafra, Benfica B and Vizela respectively, so prospects don’t appear to be too promising for them in this clash either.
