Vizela form and stats

The story so far in the Liga Portugal for Vizela at their home stadium (Estádio Do Vizela) is 5 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

The club members are hoping that Vizela will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Arouca (placed 5th). The first setback in the shape of a loss after going undefeated in four league matches. The penalty miss from Samu in the defeat against Arouca was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen. Guzzo (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.62/10. Guzzo hit two key passes and had 79 successful passes (of 94 total).

In the match before that, Vizela hosted Boavista and drew the game 1-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Vizela's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 3 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Vizela has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. Vizela have conceded 15 in these home matches.
