Vitória have much to rectify after their surprise loss (1-2) to Portimonense in their previous match, played in front of their own supporters.

Silva, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.55. Silva hit the woodwork once and hit two key passes.

A painful loss as solid favourites in the match before that one, the League Cup fixture home against Tondela.

{1 goals} so far away for Vitória SC, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
