**Paredes roll in hot, but Fafe's been the steadier climber** — this Liga 3 clash pits a **4-win streak** against a squad that's basically been flawless (3W 2D). The wrinkle? History favors **Fafe hard**: they've won 3 of the last 6 H2H, while Paredes have never beaten them. 🔥

Paredes are riding momentum off back-to-back away wins, though they did get roughed up 1–2 at home by Leça. Fafe's unbeaten run shows real control — three straight wins before that draw with Vitória SC B.

Key storylines:

- **F. Canário** leads Paredes' attack but faces a Fafe defense (**L. Teixeira, J. Batista**) that's conceded just 1 goal in their last 3
- **Picas** and **M. Correia** are Fafe's creative engine on the wing, exploiting Paredes' fullback depth
- Head-to-head curse: Paredes haven't beaten Fafe in 6 meetings — reversing that script would be *huge*

Expected lineups:

- **USC Paredes**: F. Matos, J. Vigário, D. Duarte, Gustavo, P. Araujo, D. Silva, B. Val, F. Almara, E. Santana, M. A. M. Moreno, F. Canário
- **AD Fafe**: P. Kudakovskiy, N. Sequeira, L. Teixeira, J. Batista, O. Ribeiro, P. Pereira, D. Carvalho, M. Biai, T. Veiga, M. Correia, Picas

Prediction:

**Fafe 1–1 Paredes**. Edge to Fafe's consistency and H2H pedigree, but Paredes' hot form keeps this a coin flip. 🤝
