Famalicão has been struggling recently, losing two of their last five games and drawing two others without scoring. They did manage one win, but overall, they have not been in great shape. Alverca has also found wins hard to come by, drawing four of their last five matches and losing the other one.

When these two teams met earlier this year, it was a very close game with only one goal. Given both teams' recent difficulties in winning, this upcoming match could be another tight and cautious affair.
