SC Farense's Home Advantage
SC Farense, despite their recent struggles, have a significant historical advantage when playing at home against UD Oliveirense. In their last seven home encounters, SC Farense has emerged victorious six times, with one draw and no losses. This impressive record is bolstered by a goal difference of 22-6 in favor of SC Farense, highlighting their dominance in these fixtures.
Current Form and Challenges
However, SC Farense's current form is a cause for concern. They have not won in their last five games and are on a three-match losing streak at home. Their inability to score in their last five matches further complicates their situation. Claudio Falcao remains a key player, but the team's overall performance has been inconsistent, with a win rate of just 31.25% under coach Toz Marreco.
UD Oliveirense's Struggles
On the other hand, UD Oliveirense is facing their own set of challenges. They are positioned at the bottom of Liga Portugal 2, with only two wins in 17 matches. Their away form is particularly poor, with just one win in eight matches. The team has struggled to score, with an average of 0.71 goals per match, while conceding nearly two goals per game. Recent player departures have further weakened their squad.
Prediction and Betting Insight
Given the historical dominance of SC Farense at home against UD Oliveirense and the latter's current struggles, a home win seems likely. However, considering both teams' recent inability to score, it's probable that not both teams will find the net. Therefore, the prediction is a home win with both teams not scoring.
