A defeat of the home team had odds of 1.90, which makes it clear that a close match was expected.

If the entire defensive department of the team had considerable difficulties, the one who suffered the most is certainly Pontus Texel. The player made a lot of mistakes throughout the match, and he will have to work hard over the course of the season if he wants to help his team win and climb the standings.

Mafra analysis

The goal difference is not positive for Mafra: at the end of the round 6 it registers 5 goals scored against 10 taken by its goalkeeper.

The Mafra team comes from a defeat in the League 2 Portugal, and its coach Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto wants to counter this trend by imposing a loss on his opponent, using the advantage of playing at home.

It appears that Mafra is encountering difficulties in scoring goals, as evidenced by their low number of goals scored and the high number of games in which they have failed to score. This could imply that their attacking play is lacking in quality and they need to work on creating better chances.

An average of 3.67 shots on goal per game is certainly not exciting for Mafra, which is therefore a team that does not score many goals, nor does it particularly engage the goalkeepers. This will be an important factor to consider when evaluating the match.

To control the game, the Mafra team would try to achieve an average ball possession of 56.5%. This is because teams would have some control over their opponents if they had ball possession above 50%.

One of the team's signings for the season still seems to be in a slow pace of adaptation. Bryan Passi played another underwhelming game in the club's last appearance, against Vizela. He failed to show the expected security and did not help Mafra to come out with the victory.
