Chaves
- Chaves need a boost more than Vizela as they are sitting 17th in Liga Segunda 2026/2027 with only 5 points from 7 games, while the visitors are 8th with 11 from 7.
- Filipe Martins, appointed by Chaves on 1 July 2025, has the team moving in the right direction after a solid start to the campaign, winning 3, drawing 1 and losing only once in the last five overall (all competitions).
- Their most recent results, however, will not have been ideal as they come off a 4-0 away loss to Farense in Liga Segunda 2026/2027, a 1-1 away draw with Lusitania FC and a 2-1 home cup win over CF Os Marialvas.
- The Flavienses have a balanced home record after three matches (1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss), but they are conceding an average of 2.00 goals per game at home, so there is much to improve on.
- Wilson Tavares is the danger man, having scored three of the team's last five goals, so if he is on form, Chaves can hurt any opponent.
Vizela
- Vizela will be compact and well organised and can be trusted to stay compact and frustrating in a 4-2-3-1 formation that doesn't give much away.
- Their away record in Liga Segunda 2026/2027 is a little deceptive as they have only lost one of their three away games (Won 1, Drawn 1, Lost 1) and have only let in 4 goals in those 3 trips.
- Their most recent matches have been a 2-2 away draw with FC Porto B in Liga Segunda 2026/2027, a 0-1 away cup win at SCE Bombarralense, and a 0-2 home loss to Sporting CP B.
Head-to-Head
This is a tough game to call, but Vizela have a 2-1 record in the 3 head-to-head meetings and we believe the Vizelenses could just about edge this one, although it is likely to be a cagey game with neither side wanting to lose and the value likely lies in the under 2.5 goals at 1.74 and both teams to score - no at 1.96 options.
