Santarem welcome Sporting Covilha on Sunday, Nov 29 at 5:00 PM in a Liga 3 – Group B fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Santarem come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Sporting Covilha, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Santarem face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Sporting Covilha have won 4 of 7 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Santarem won 0–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Santarem a slight edge, but Sporting Covilha are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
