Torreense vs Penafiel Prediction & Betting Tips (15 January)

Penafiel are guaranteed to finish bottom of the Liga Portugal 2, and it is easy to see why when you consider that the team have suffered several defeats at the top table of Liga Portugal 2. Although Torreense haven’t been in great form themselves of late, a record of 11 wins from their last 19 home matches suggests that they should have enough.

Torreense are rarely involved in top-flight thrillers, with nine of their previous ten matches, including seven in a row of late, serving up no more than a couple of successful strikes. Given that this has also been the case in five consecutive Penafiel away games at this level, anyone expecting fireworks at Torreense stadium is set to be disappointed.

Over the course of their previous 18 matches at this elite level of the Liga Portugal 2, Torreense have been involved in no fewer than 14 contests in which at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet. This has also been the case in 16 of the last 19 Penafiel away games in the top-flight, so don’t expect the net to bulge at both ends in this encounter.
