When Santa Clara hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Pacos de Ferreira, Santa Clara, Maritimo, Estoril and Portimonense), they have won 2 of 3 matches!

Gil Vicente have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Liga Portugal, after 4-1-10 (15 played). Bitter travels for Vicente as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Porto match.
