Paços de Ferreira Santa Clara betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 17^th position of the league, with 15 points won, after 3 wins, 6 draws and 14 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Marítimo, by (3‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Vitória SC, by (1‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 26 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Santa Clara has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 6 away matches. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (6 out of 11 matches) and after the 90' 1‑0 (5 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 5 of the last 23 matches for the Primeira Liga, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 5 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 23 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 11 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 12 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

The Santa Clara team has fallen far short of expectations of a balanced campaign in the race to remain among the elite level of Portuguese football, appearing at the moment in the 17th and penultimate position of the leaderboard, with 15 points, one behind Marítimo and three above Paços Ferreira. The direct maintenance zone is seven points away, namely by Estoril. Without winning for 14 consecutive games, where they lost on 11 occasions, the Azoreans have been going through a crisis of results for many months, having recently fired coach Jorge Simão. In the debut of the interim Accioly, last weekend, Santa Clara even started by showing a different attitude but ended up defeated, at home, by Vitória SC, by 1-3, in a game that was resolved in the first half (0 -3 at halftime).

Confirmed Lineup: Gabriel Batista, Matheus Nunes Fagundes de Araújo, Ygor Nogueira, Nanu, Paulo Henrique, Bruno Jordão, Kento Misao, Adriano, Walter González, Rildo Gonçalves de Amorim Filho, Allano.
Coach: N. Carvalho Campos.
