Vitória SC form and stats

Vitória SC have performed here at Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques this season with 5 wins from 8 Liga Portugal matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1.

No payout for Vitória SC in their previous match, an away game at Gil Vicente that ended in defeat 1-2. Midfield player Maga got a match rating of 8.1 in that game, the max score being 10. Maga served one assist, hit three key passes and had 38 successful passes (of 45 total).

Before that game, a loss in the away fixture against Sporting Braga in the Taça De Portugal.

The Vitória fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. From these home matches, Vitória SC have conceded only 5 goals.

Porto form and stats

Playing away, Porto, who have the fewest conceded goals (11) in Liga Portugal, have won 4 games, drawn 3 and suffered 1 defeat in the Liga Portugal this season.

Porto won their last game, 4-1 versus Famalicao played at home. Midfielder Galeno was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.73. Galeno scored two goals, served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 20 successful passes (of 25 total).

A home win as anticipated against Arouca ahead of that, in the Taça De Portugal.

A quick return to home after this game, as Porto are hosting Academico Viseu in the League Cup only four days away.

Porto are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 8 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Porto as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
