Santa Clara Preview – Can Santa Clara win three on trot?
Even if Santa Clara do achieve three wins on the trot on Wednesday night when they take on relegation candidates, Farense, the best that the hosts can hope for is a 6th place finish as they trail the top five by a 10-point margin with just one game remaining of the season.
Nevertheless, recent back-to-back wins against Rio Ave and Belenenses have handed Santa Clara a couple of welcome wins and also ended a miserable five-match spell without a win as the hosts had previously suffered defeats against Guimaraes, Benfica and Famalicao.
Although Santa Clara’s home record reads an inconsistent looking 6-5-5 22/16, the hosts are unbeaten in their last seven matches which includes four wins.
Farense Preview – Can Farense survive?
Although they sit second from bottom in the Primeira Liga, Wednesday’s visitors, Farense, are not yet down and out as they sit level on points with third from bottom Rio Ave and are just two points behind fourth from bottom outfit, Boavista.
Recent results have also seen an improvement for Farense as the visitors have suffered just one defeat out of their last six matches overall which was an understandable heavy 5-1 loss at Porto but they’ve also picked up vital wins against Pacos Ferreira and Tondela along with gaining valuable points in draws with Portimonense, Gil Vicente and Vitoria Guimaraes.
Farense have also lost just three of their last nine away from home, so they stand a fairly reasonable chance of at least avoiding defeat here.
