Pacos Ferreira are set to host Santa Clara in the next round of matches in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. There’s just a point between the two sides, Pacos 12th with 14 and Santa Clara 14th with 13 points. Ahead of this game, Pacos beat Tondela 1-0 to bring to an end a run of five straight losses. This was also their first win in nine matches and they will be keen to build on it. In five of their last nine matches, Pacos have failed to score, and only once in their last 10 matches have they managed more than a goal in a game. The win over Tondela in the last game is Pacos’ only clean sheet in five matches. Their home run has equally been unimpressive, with no win in the last eight matches.

Santa Clara are just two points above the relegation playoff zone and will want to rise as far away as possible from there. They are also coming from a win; a key 1-0 victory over Vitoria Guimaraes and will be fired up for this game. That win served their first clean sheet in five matches and it was their second victory in three games. Four of their last five matches in Primeira Liga have produced over 2.5 goals and Santa Clara have failed to score in just one of the last five league games. Their run away from home in the league is really poor; they have no win in the last seven and only one win in 14. In the 14 away league matches they’ve suffered 11 losses.
