Porto B's numbers are much rougher. One win, one draw and four defeats from six games, with only four goals scored and thirteen conceded. Their lone win came away at Feirense, so they're not completely without an answer on the road, but the overall shape of their season has been shaky.

Porto B's defence has been the bigger problem, conceding freely in most of their recent league matches.

Comparative Team Statistics: Leixoes vs FC Porto B

Head-to-head

The last two meetings between these sides went in opposite directions. Leixoes won 3-0 away at Porto B back in April, but Porto B had won 4-2 at Leixoes the previous December. Further back there's a mix of tight, low-scoring games and a few one-sided results, so the wider history doesn't point strongly either way.

What stands out is how decisive the two most recent games were compared to some of the older, tighter meetings.

Where they sit in the table

Leixoes are seventh with ten points from six games. Porto B are down in seventeenth with just four points from the same number of matches. It's still early in the season, but that seven-point gap already reflects the form both sides have shown.

How this one could go

Leixoes have scored in every home league game we've seen from them this season and have generally been solid at home. Porto B's away form has mostly been poor, with heavy defeats at Tondela and Lusitânia Lourosa, though that win at Feirense shows they can occasionally travel well.

Given Leixoes' home scoring and Porto B's leaky away defence, goals for the home side seem more likely than not, though Porto B's odd good result keeps a shutout from being a certainty.
