Setubal recorded three wins in a row before the winter break, beating Tondela, 3-0, Arouca, 1-0, and Sporting, 2-1. Such results allowed the team to occupy ninth place in the league with 19 points gained and with 16-16 goal difference. The team still need to improve their away record as they have gained only six points in seven matches on the road with 6-10 aggregate goal difference.
Neither of the teams show high-scoring results and the opponents are of about the same level as we can tell by their positions in the standings. We shouldn’t expect the team to please fans with top performances and blazing attacks as neither of them have skilled or notable players who are capable of such.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
