Chaves have a solid start of the campaign as for newly-promoted side. The visiting team gained 12 points in eight league matches and sit on the sixth position in the Primera Liga. Chaves are also successful in matches on the road, taking three wins, one draw and one defeat in the most recent matchup with Braga, 0-1. All three of these away wins were taken with the same 1-0 score. As we can see, the team play defense in away matches and such approach pays off so far.
The hosts are successful in matches with Chaves, but the visitors are different team this season and they’ve proved to be tough-to-beat opponents. We should expect this cup match to be intense and end with two scored goals as the most.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
