In this Liga Portugal 2 fixture, the two sides meet with only three places between them in the table. União de Leiria sit 10th with 11 points, while AVS are 7th with 12 points, so this is a game where both teams need points to avoid slipping away from the mid-table group. União de Leiria have just drawn 1-1 at home in the league, and before that won 2-1 in the cup, making them unbeaten in two straight matches, but their season overall has not settled yet: 11 scored and 10 conceded in 8 games. AVS, meanwhile, are in hot form, on a winning run and unbeaten in 5, with a defence that is tighter than the overall numbers suggest, having conceded only 8 goals in 8 games. This game is likely to be one where the home side have to be the ones to open up and attack, because AVS are comfortable sitting back and waiting to counter from pace on the flanks. Statistically, over their last 10 matches AVS have averaged only 45.9% possession but have faced 7.3 shots on target per game, while União de Leiria average 55.7% possession and 5.4 shots on target per game. If the home side can control the game and break through that compact defence for a goal, the game is likely to flow in that direction.
