Os verdes e brancos Seek Redemption After Consecutive Losses

As of October 27th, 2025, Os verdes e brancos are in a difficult position, having lost 3 of their last 4 games in all competitions. Their poor run of form began earlier this month with a 3-2 away loss to Nacional in their previous league outing, followed by a 1-0 defeat to third-tier side Fafe in the Taca de Portugal third round.

The league leaders, Dragões, have also seen a drop in their performance recently, winning just 1 of their last 3 games. They were held to a goalless draw by Benfica earlier this month, but bounced back with a win in the Taca de Portugal third round. However, they suffered their first loss of the season last week, falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Nottingham Forest in the UEFA Europa League.

Despite Dragões' dominance in this fixture, Os verdes e brancos have struggled to find success, registering just 1 win against them since 2017. That lone triumph came in the Taca de Portugal last season, when they secured a home victory.

As the two sides prepare to face off, Os verdes e brancos will be desperate to turn their fortunes around and secure a much-needed win, while Dragões will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run and maintain their position at the top of the league.
