Trofense vs Pacos Ferreira tips and predictions

Do the stars align for Trofense?

The visitors are a level above this Trofense side.

Don't be persuaded by the prices alone. Whatever the outcome, the home side has a great chance.

Trofense will hope Pacos Ferreira aren't at their best so they can add another loss to the records books. Defeats have slowly been mounting up for this group of away players over their last 17 fixtures. They've lost 14 of them. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that deserve to be as short as this.

Trofense will need to be patient and prepared for periods with very little possession if they're to get this done. How about this home squad's recent form? They have scored at least once in 3 of their recent 4 matches.

Pacos Ferreira can be vulnerable when they lose their shape. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 20 matches. And the home side's defenders will be looking for any signs that they aren't facing annihilation. The attacking form shown by the visitors has been short of quality. They averaged just 0.5 goals in their last 20 matches.

It might be that the attacking nature of the hosts' recent displays will pay dividends. If they are to somehow pull it off, it is critical that they build on this momentum.

The sportsbooks are predicting both sides to get in on the act despite the favouritism for Pacos Ferreira. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense here. Everything in this preview will rest on how the hosts deal with a standard of football they aren't used to.
