Paços de Ferreira, Recent FormPaços de Ferreira will not be too disheartened with their 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Casa Pia who sit so many places above them in the table. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Casa Pia's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 10 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. César Peixoto has a real defensive headache with his squad's inability to keep a clean sheet at home, having conceded a goal in each of their the past 14 games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 9 of the first 12 league games at Estádio Capital do Móvel.
Goalscorer Adrián Butzke will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Paços de Ferreira.
Santa Clara, Recent FormLosing 3-1 home to Vitória Guimarães won't leave the Santa Clara squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. They came away from that fixture with a 58% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Vitória Guimarães, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
With 6 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 14 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 19 of their 23 league games.
Santa Clara will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 10 games.
Gabriel Silva will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Santa Clara.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
The Paços defence has struggled against Os Açoreanos in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 games.
Santa Clara has a poor track record in the league when they visit Paços, losing in their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Paços manager César Peixoto will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Tomás Domingos (Muscle) and Marco Pereira (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, (TBC) will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
