- Team form: AVS have won one and tied one of their last 2 away games.
- Home form: Felgueiras have not lost in their last 2 home games (1 win, 1 draw).
AVS are slightly more likely to nick this one
Felgueiras 1932 are tenth in Liga Segunda 2026-2027 with one point from one game played while AVS Futebol SAD are 13th with no points from one match.
The hosts have two wins, two draws and one defeat in their past five matches across all current competitions, a steady run with only a single slip, while the visitors are in mixed shape with two wins, two draws and a defeat in the same time span.
Agostinho Bento's side have not changed much since July 2022, giving him time to get a plan in place and some momentum to his side. Felgueiras have been pretty solid in possession, pressing high when they don't have the ball and recycling it quickly when they win it back.
AVS look a much different proposition with Joao Henriques bringing a fresh reset to the dugout since his appointment on 21 December 2025. He appears to be shaping AVS into a side that will sit deep and compact and then hit on the break with quality.
Lima can make the difference for AVS
Odds and tactics:
This has all the hallmarks of a cagey affair, but AVS are very slightly the favourites at 2.45 with Felgueiras at 2.9 and the draw at 3.15, which is probably about right. Henriques' side have the structure to come here and get it right and the momentum to nick this if they can make a few turnovers count, whereas Felgueiras are more expansive in possession and press higher up the field, which can lead to a midfield battle that may decide the game.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.67 looks about right for this game as both clubs will probably try to keep a lid on the risk.
Key players:
- Felgueiras have shown themselves to be capable of punishing opponents on the counter with Lucas Duarte the focal point of their attacks.
- Duarte has three goals in the club's last five, making him their danger man and best chance of getting on the scoresheet on Monday, but Henriques will have his side compact enough to limit space for the tall targetman.
- Pedro Lima is AVS's best bet for a goal with the veteran striker having two of the visitor's six goals in the past five games.
