Vizela form and stats

Vizela's struggle is real here at Estádio Do Vizela with only 7 points collected from 7 Liga Portugal games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-4.

The supporters are hoping that Vizela will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Famalicao (placed 13th). Guzzo (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.33/10. Guzzo dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 57 successful passes (of 66 total).

Before that, Vizela had a home game versus Vitoria Guimaraes which ended with a victory 3-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Vizela have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 4 and lost 3.

It should be taken into account that a peek at the 10 latest league fixtures reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored).

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Rio Ave.
