Let's gab about the confrontation between SC Farense and Casa Pia. Farense have in goal Ricardo Velho who seems to be having a sharper season in the posts than Casa Pia's Sequeira with a comforting 6.90 rating compared to Sequeira’s not so soothing 6.33.
Casa Pia fields players like Leonardo Lelo, Duplexe Tchamba and Miguel Sousa. It's Leonardo's precise passing I'm eyeing but hey, goals win matches and Duplexe's proven he got that in him. But let's not overlook SC Farense's squad. Rony Lopes and Tomané have had some impressive runs, with Lopes not afraid to let fly with 3 shots hitting their mark.
When we peek at the past encounters between these two, it's a bit of a see-saw with the last faceoff ending in a draw. A stalemate certainly isn't out of the question here. However, Casa Pia's got a bit more bite in their recent regular season record. Farense's results paint a less than rosy picture, only pulling 3 wins out of a possible 27.
In the end, it's like being asked to predict the weather by sticking a wet finger in the air. But based on gut and backed up by the stats available, here's my take.
