Chaves welcome Feirense on Sunday, September 13, 2026, in a Liga Portugal 2 fixture between the bottom two teams in the rankings. Kick-off is scheduled for 13:00 at the Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira. Chaves occupy 17th place and Feirense are 18th, with both sides still searching for their first league victory of the season. Their records underline the urgency surrounding this contest: the hosts have taken one point from four matches, while the visitors have collected one point from five. With neither team able to build momentum so far, this is an important opportunity to interrupt a damaging sequence of results. Chaves have the statistical advantage in the win probabilities, but their defensive record leaves little room for confidence. Feirense arrive with even greater attacking concerns, making the balance between the hosts’ vulnerability and the visitors’ limited scoring output a central theme of this match preview.

Chaves Recent Form and Key Statistics

Chaves have opened their Liga Portugal 2 campaign with no wins, one draw and three defeats. They are averaging 1.0 goal scored and 2.3 conceded per league game, figures which help explain why they remain near the bottom of the rankings. Their only point came from a 2-2 draw against AFS, while their other league matches ended in defeat. That run included a heavy 4-1 loss against Académica de Coimbra in the opening round.

The hosts were beaten 2-1 by Felgueiras 1932 on August 30 in their latest recorded result. Across their last five matches, Chaves have registered no victories, one draw and four defeats, scoring an average of 0.8 goals and conceding 2.0 per game. Those numbers show that the problem has not been confined to one performance: they have struggled to control matches defensively and have also lacked the attacking production required to compensate.

There is, however, a notable second-half pattern. More than 0.5 total goals have been recorded after the interval in each of Chaves’ last 18 Liga Portugal 2 matches. The same outcome has occurred in their last 13 home league fixtures. These sequences suggest that Chaves games have consistently produced at least one second-half goal, although that does not indicate which team scored it. For the hosts, improving their work without the ball will be essential after conceding more than twice per league match on average this season.

Feirense Recent Form and Key Statistics

Feirense approach the match with a league record of no wins, one draw and four defeats. Their only point was collected in the opening round, and every subsequent game has ended in defeat. The most recent setback came on September 5, when they lost 1-3 against Sporting CP II at home. Like Chaves, the visitors therefore travel under considerable pressure to produce an immediate response.

The last-five-match data presents a particularly difficult attacking picture. Feirense have recorded no wins, one draw and four losses in that period, averaging only 0.2 goals scored and 1.4 conceded. Their season averages in Liga Portugal 2 are identical: 0.2 goals for and 1.4 against per fixture. While their defensive average is better than Chaves’, their lack of goals has made it extremely difficult to turn competitive spells into points.

Feirense’s matches have also tended to remain controlled on the scoreboard before the break. Fewer than 1.5 first-half goals have been registered in 20 of their last 22 Liga Portugal 2 games, a trend which also applies to 20 of their last 22 matches across the supplied overall sequence. In addition, two of their last ten league fixtures ended with fewer than 0.5 total goals. These statistics point towards the possibility of a cautious opening, even though the need for points may eventually force the visitors to take more risks.

Chaves vs Feirense Match Analysis

The rankings make the significance of this meeting clear. Chaves are 17th and Feirense are 18th, and neither side has won in the league this season. Chaves have played one fewer match and hold home advantage, while Feirense must find a way to improve an attacking average of only 0.2 goals per game. The supplied win probabilities give Chaves a 45% chance of victory, compared with 28% for the draw and 26% for a Feirense win.

Chaves have shown more scoring potential than their opponents, but their average of 2.3 goals conceded means they cannot rely on a narrow advantage being safe. Feirense, meanwhile, have conceded fewer goals per match but have rarely offered enough at the other end. The contrast creates a difficult contest to assess: the hosts possess the stronger win probability, yet both teams arrive after four defeats in their respective last five matches.

Recent head-to-head information provides Chaves with some encouragement. The last meeting finished 1-0 in their favor on February 14, 2026. Across the supplied head-to-head summary, Chaves have two wins, two draws and one defeat, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per game. That record supports the hosts’ chances of avoiding defeat, but it also reinforces the possibility of another match with a limited scoreline.

The goals markets reflect that expectation. Under 2.5 goals carries a 56% probability, while Over 2.5 stands at 44%. Both Teams To Score is more evenly divided, with Yes at 51% and No at 49%. Although Chaves’ second-half trends indicate that the contest may open up after the interval, Feirense’s low scoring average and repeated first-half Under 1.5 results favor a restrained overall total. A tight opening followed by greater urgency later in the game appears consistent with the available statistics.
