Farense
- Farense come into Sunday's matchup with Chaves in tenth spot in the Liga Segunda 2026/2027 table having accrued eight points from their first five matches, while the visitors sit six places and four points behind in 16th.
- Farense have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five (all-competitions).
Chaves
Chaves have won the last two matches, taking two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five (all competitions).
Head-to-Head
Farense have scored an average of 2.5 goals in their home games against Chaves over the last four head-to-heads, while Chaves have managed just 1.0 per game away to the same opponents during that time.
Key Players
- A possession-first 1-4-3-3 that builds up from the back and circulates the ball around the center of the field before picking their moments to press has served Farense well in the early season.
- Wilson Tavares is the danger man for the Flaviense with four of Chaves' eight goals in the last five matches coming from his boot.
- Mattheus has chipped in with two goals for Farense in their last five and his ability to spark some life between the lines should be of great value to the home team on Sunday.
Betting Insights
- The odds for this game are a little odd with Farense a shade of favorites at 2.07 ahead of Chaves at 3.36 and the draw at 3.35, so it may be worth siding with the home side for the main selection in this one.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.83 and both teams to score - yes at 1.72 are the second best options to look at in the markets as we believe Farense's home edge should be good enough to secure victory, but Chaves' double winning run should ensure a game state tension that should keep the under over the 2.5 goals line.
- Chaves have won their last two - a 1-0 home win over Feirense in Liga Segunda 2026/2027 followed by a 3-2 win away at Guarda Desportiva FC in the Portuguese cup.
Prediction
This looks like a possession versus transition clash with the hosts more likely to win on balance, but the visitors two-game winning streak should at least keep this one honest.
