In the last four, SC Farense won one, one was drawn and GD Chaves won two. The last time they met, on 22 Feb 2026, it finished SC Farense 0-2 GD Chaves: four yellow cards.
Where it pulls both ways. SC Farense are the form side, but the meetings favour GD Chaves: in the last eight meetings, SC Farense won three, GD Chaves won four and one was drawn. On goals, their goals for and against point to a tight game; their records put over 2.5 goals at 54%.
The read. No side to back. Form and the meetings point different ways, so I back neither side.
The bets. No bet on this one: too close to call. Leave: SC Farense or Under 2.5 Goals (no result call); SC Farense or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); SC Farense or Both Teams Score (no result call). Predicted score: SC Farense 1-1 GD Chaves (14% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (the Model's table).
