Avs Futebol SAD v Farense

AVS vs Farense Preview

AVS were dealt a heavy 3-0 loss away from home at Sporting Lisbon last time out in the Portuguese top flight but the hosts return to the home surroundings of their Estádio Clube Desportivo das Aves for this upcoming encounter against Farense where the home side will be looking to pick up a third win so far this season, while Farense's disastrous start to this new Primeira Liga continued with a 1-0 loss at home to Arouca.

AVS have picked up wins against the likes of Vitoria Guimaraes and Rio Ave respectively so far this season but the hosts also drew 1-1 at home against Nacional on the opening day of the Portuguese top flight along with being handed losses at the hands of Gil Vicente, Santa Clara and Sporting Lisbon.

This season is AVS's first ever campaign in the domestic top flight and although the losses have outweighed the wins so far this term, this upcoming fixture on Monday night against Farense looks like the ideal opportunity for Vitor Campelos' side to pick up another important three-point haul at their Estádio Clube Desportivo das Aves.

The bigger picture shows AVS are unbeaten in their last nine games on home soil and having collected seven wins within this nine-game period, AVS look set for further success here on Monday night.

Farense stumbled to a sixth league defeat on the trot in the Primeira Liga last weekend when they slipped to a 1-0 loss at home to Arouca which has further contributed to the visitors' woeful start to this season's campaign.

Six defeats on the trot have landed Farense in bottom place in the Primeira Liga table where Toze Marreco's side have still yet to pick up a single point so far this season, which consists of losses at the hands of Moreirense, Rio Ave, Sporting Lisbon, Nacional, Porto and Arouca respectively, so this upcoming trip to the Estádio Clube Desportivo das Aves looks like being a tough assignment for the visitors.

The wider picture shows Farense have now slipped to eight defeats on the trot in the Portuguese top flight while five of these eight losses have also seen Farense fail to score, so despite AVS's mixed start to this new season, the visitors look to have their work cut out here this Monday.

Farense have also managed to capture just three wins within their previous 22 league matches in the Primeira Liga, two of which were gained on home soil at their Estádio de São Lúis while also slipping to a total of 15 defeats within this period as well.
