In the last direct match for this edition of the league, on 23-12-2018, the Farense won out by (2-3). The history of recent direct matches is favorable to the home team, which records 1 win and 3 draws in the last 4 matches. In this match the home factor may be decisive, since both teams present considerable differences in the results obtained at home and as a visitor.
Farense:
After 9 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses, the home team is currently in the 13 th position of the league, with 35 points won. In the last match, they won in Estoril at home (3-1), after in the previous match they lost by (3-1), in a match against Benfica II.

In their home league matches the most frequent result at half-time was the 0-0 (8 out of 14 matches). Defensive consistency has not been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 14 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 29 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 10 times and never got the comeback.
In the Algarve, the Farense surprised Estoril, 3-1, in a match to count for the 29th round of the Second League. The Algarve team went ahead on the scoreboard, in the first minute of the second half, through midfielder Daniel Bragança, a player loaned by the SCP. A short time later, through a corner kick taken to the first post, Roberto scored, restoring equality on the scoreboard. In the end of the match, André Vieira appeared to contribute with two goals for the team party of Álvaro Magallanes. With this result the Farense continues in the fight for maintenance, with 35 points.
The host team goes through the best phase of the season as host, adding three consecutive victories. Another fact that increases the motivation of the lions of Faro, for this challenge, is the fact that in the last three years they have not lost any game against Penafiel. The local coach must play in the usual 4-4-2, favoring a supported football. The two most advanced players, responsible for making sense of the rival defensive line, are Mayambela and Christian Irobiso. The last one is the best finisher of the team, with 6 goals scored. In the central area of the terrain, Alvarinho, Daniel Bragança, Nuno Borges and Fabrício Isidoro are likely to act. Apparently, the host technician must not have absences of weight for the reception to Penafiel.
Probable alignment: Daniel Fernandes, Cássio, Bruno Sapo, Jorge Ribeiro, Fábio Nunes, Fabrício Isidoro, Alvarinho, Daniel Bragança, M. Mayambela, C. Irobiso, Nuno Borges.

In their home league matches the most frequent result at half-time was the 0-0 (6 out of 15 matches).

In 29 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 16 times and only managed 3 comebacks.

With this result the peninsulares added the second consecutive victory and the third game without losing, increasing in this way the advantage over the relegation zone for eleven points.
The team commanded by Armando Evangelista practically guaranteed the goal of the season: maintenance. For this match we believe that the coach should keep the team in the usual tactical design, the 4-3-3, benefiting the defensive organization and counterattacks. The three players responsible for panicking the opposing defense are Fábio Abreu, Ludovic and Pires. The last player mentioned is the star of the team, with fourteen goals scored. In the central zone of the land it is possible that they play Tiago Ronaldo, Romeu Ribeiro and Vasco Braga. The foreign trainer must have all the players at his disposal for the game with the Farense.
