The hosts are the underdogs in this match, but Farense recent matches have been going quite well. The team has suffered only one defeat in the last five rounds, and will be most serious about the match with Vitoria Guimarães, because in case of victory there is a chance to get out of the relegation zone. We believe that the team from Faro can avoid defeat in this confrontation.
Our prediction is Farense will not lose at 1.95

Bet on corners
If the teams rely on defensive actions, as we believe, then we will see a few corner kicks in the match. We will place another bet on the low total on them.
