Chaves vs Aves
Portugal – Primeira Liga
Date: Monday, 5th November 2018
Kick-off at 21.15 UK/ 22.15 CET
Venue: Estadio Municipal de Chaves, Chaves.
Two teams from the bottom tier of the Primeira Liga lock horns in this weekend’s fixtures. Chaves hosts Aves at the Estadio Municipal de Chaves.
Chaves has registered seven points so far from their eight matches. They have won two of their games while drawing one and losing five. They have scored seven goals and conceded thirteen in the process.
Aves is the bottom-most team in the table, at the 18th position. They have recorded just four points so far in their league season. They have lost six of their eight games. They have managed to win and draw one game each. They have fared almost equally to their opponents of this match, in the case of goals. They too have scored seven and conceded 13.
Chaves put on a fine performance against top-tier team Rio Ave despite being on the road last week. They held Rio to a 0-0 scoreline till the 66th minute. A 1-0 loss to a team like Rio is nothing to be ashamed of.
Aves lost a home game last week against Santa Clara on a score of 1-2. Aves was able to pull one goal back after the visitors put two against them in the first 20 minutes.
The hosts Chaves has performed considerably better against Aves in most of the recent matches. To be precise Chaves has won seven times against Aves while losing only once. Also, the home team has been considered the better team, historically as well as recently.
Chaves has put on better performances in their home matches compared to the slow start they had to their season. They are slowly picking up the pieces. They have lost just three of their last 11 games at home.
Whereas Aves has won just a meager three of their last 21 games on the road. They tend to concede a lot too in away games.
Expect Chaves to comfortably win this match.
