Chaves, Recent FormChaves had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Vizela. They came away from that fixture with 42% of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Vizela managed 15 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. Vítor Campelos will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home matches.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 9 home league games.
Héctor Hernández will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Chaves.
Sporting CP, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Sporting CP players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Porto. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Porto who had 10 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 11, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
On an individual basis, Pedro Gonçalves will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 10 goals in Sporting CP's 20 league games this season.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Sporting CP who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-2 to Chaves.
Goals should be on the cards for Chaves in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Sportinguistas in their last 7 meetings together. Flavienses have struggled to keep Sporting CP at bay when these two teams have met at Estádio Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira, during the last 3 times they have hosted Sporting CP in the league, they have conceded a total of 7 goals.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at Estádio Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira, Sporting CP has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Chaves in 3 games.
Chaves manager Vítor Campelos has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Héctor Hernández (Knee), Nwankwo Obiora (Muscle) and Luther Singh (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim ahead of this clash, with Daniel Bragança (Ligament) missing out, which gives Amorim a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
