Penafiel vs Leiria Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

The recent home record of Penafiel does not make for pretty reading, with seven defeats in ten top-flight fixtures and a whopping 21 goals conceded across these losses. Leiria, on the other hand, have been punching above their weight this season, and a recent record of four wins from nine trips is not-too-shabby in such a competitive league.

Keeping things tight at the back has been Penafiel modus operandi of late, with just four goals conceded across their most recent 21 top-flight home fixtures, 14 of the last 17 of which have produced under 3.5 goals. Given that 17 of the previous 21 Leiria away matches at this level have followed suit, this contest should deliver three goals or fewer.

Leiria have proven incredibly exciting to watch on the road recently, with both teams on target in 17 of their previous 21 second-tier fixtures, including in eight of the last nine. It has been a similar story as far as Penafiel are concerned of late, as the net has bulged at both ends in 12 of their last 14 matches at this level, so expect attacks to be on top in this match.
