- Filipe Martins took charge of Chaves in July 2025 and has instilled a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 system that allows his team to dominate the flanks with their attacking wing-backs.
- The hosts have conceded just 0.92 goals per home game in Liga Segunda 2025/2026, so I don’t expect them to concede too many on Friday, but they will need to get some chances at the other end to win.
