Vitória SC form and stats
5-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga Portugal numbers at home for Vitória SC so far this season.
Vitória SC experienced a slightly shocking loss 0-1 against Porto in their previous game, also played in front of their own fans. Maga (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.25/10. Maga hit one key pass.
Prior to that, an away loss at Gil Vicente.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 Vitória have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 18 games) they have won 13 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.
From these home matches, Vitória SC have conceded only 6 goals.
Chaves form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga Portugal travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. With three draws in a row for Chaves the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
Chaves has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Boavista for a 1-1 draw. As mentioned above, Chaves drew the match against Boavista. Manager de Carvalho brought on Batista to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Ponck, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.64. Ponck won 4 of 9 duels.
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Arouca.We have checked recent matches where Chaves have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 9 games were 2 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
13 goals have been conceded by Chaves in these games.
