Chaves (Home)
- Chaves have won five, drawn five and lost five of their 15 home matches in Segunda 2025/2026, which puts them 11th in the standings with 39 points from 30 games.
- Filipe Martins manages Chaves and has implemented a disciplined, pragmatic style of play since taking charge in July 2025.
- Chaves typically set up in a 4-4-2 or 4-3-1-2 system and are a compact, hard-working and effective unit in all thirds of the field.
- The hosts’ recent results have been a mixed bag, and they beat Torreense 2-0 at home last time out.
- Their previous game was a seven-goal thriller away at Pacos de Ferreira which they lost 4-3.
Oliveirense (Away)
- Oliveirense are a much more patient and possession-based team under Jorge Pinto, who sets up his side in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3.
- They build up the ball from the back and look for openings in the opposing defense in a disciplined and organised style of soccer.
- The visitors have won only one of their 15 away games in Segunda 2025/2026, drawing six and losing eight.
- They have conceded 17 goals in those 15 away matches and seem to struggle away from home, so this could be a long evening for them against Chaves.

Chaves have won the last three head-to-head meetings between the clubs, including a 3-2 win at Oliveirense four months ago.
Key Players

Prediction
- The clash of Chaves’ compact block and rapid counters against Oliveirense’s patient build-up play could result in a stalemate.
