Farense analysis

The Farense team comes from a defeat in the Liga Portugal, and its coach António José Marreco Gouveia wants to counter this trend by imposing a loss on his opponent, using the advantage of playing at home.

Recent results have shown that Farense is struggling to find the back of the net, with a low number of goals scored and a high number of games where they have failed to score. This may indicate that they need to work on creating better chances and improving their attacking efficiency.

Farense is not a team that imposes its rhythms on the field, it usually has a rather counterattacking game: in fact, during this league we see that it has an average ball possession of 40.89%. In the next match against Benfica a change of attitude on the field will be needed, Farense will have to try to maintain possession to create goal chances and win.

The adaptation of Álex Bermejo Escribano with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in Farense last game of the season, against Sporting Braga. In the clash, the midfielder failed to be effective and did little for the team. Despite the good expectations for the player, his performance is starting to worry.
