Peter Green - January 8, 2019
Aves vs Feirense
Portugal – Primeira Liga
Date: Friday, 11th January 2019
Kick-off at 19.00 UK/ 20.00 CET
Venue: Estádio do CD das Aves (Vila das Aves).
Both Aves and Feirense are fighting to avoid relegation at the end of the season. Just one point separates either of the teams in league standings, and a win will give the victor a huge advantage over the other in the battle for survival.
Aves was unlucky last weekend to lose their league game. The team was pitted against Moreirense and was handicapped with the away status. The score was 0-0 till the 76th minute before the hosts came up with the winning goal.
Feirense did well by their home fans and orchestrated a comeback against Santa Clara in their last match-day. The visiting team had scored the first two goals and looked as if they might run away with the win. But the Azuis da Feira showed mettle and composure as they scored two goals in five minutes to share the spoils.
Whenever these teams faced each other, it has always been low goal-scoring affairs. The last six wins in h2h games showed a scoreline of 1-0.
Also, the Blues from the Feira were shut off by Aves defenders in their last three overall h2h matches, and in three of the last four h2h games at this stadium. Expect another low goal-scoring affair this week and Aves to keep a clean sheet in all probability. The match will have under 2.5 goals.
Jose Mota’s men have won their last three games against Feirense, and have won nine h2h matches in overall, against one loss. Expect Aves to keep true and record the victory this weekend.
