Vitória SC form and stats

The overall Liga Portugal statistics playing at home this season for Vitória SC are 9-3-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Bruno Miguel Semedo Varela not having conceded a league goal in 183 minutes.

A good away victory last time out for Vitória SC, who won 1-0 against Rio Ave (placed 12th). Varela, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.02 out of 10 in that game. Varela topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Vizela.

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 12 times, drawn 2 and lost 4.

The Vitória SC fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 16 matches. From these home matches, Vitória SC have conceded only 12 goals.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gil Vicente so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 4-1-11 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Vicente in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Porto.

Navarro (2) and Souza scored in Gil Vicente's previous match, the home game against Boavista that ended 3-1. Yippee; their first victory in the league after eight games not winning.

A 2-3 defeat away at Santa Clara before that.

Gil Vicente are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. From a total of 4 matches.

Vicente are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 16 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Gil Vicente struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 26 goals conceded from these games.
