Estoril ended up with a 0-1 score against Famalicao last match, a fixture to remember. The next task is this sturdy Vitória SC team.

Insights:
  • Estoril have the fewest matches over the total-line (4) in Liga Portugal
  • Vitória SC have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Vitória SC form and stats

There's been little loot from Vitória SC's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Liga Portugal. Vitória SC only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Vitória's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The followers enjoyed Vitória SC's previous fixture versus Chaves (placed 10th), a 2-1 win played at home. That victory felt sweet as this side had gone four league fixtures without winning. The end of the last match, against Chaves, was very satisfying as Safira scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Midfield player Silva was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.04/10. Silva scored one goal, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A loss against Porto was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vitória as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. Vitória SC have conceded 13 goals in these games.
