Vizela form and stats

Vizela have collected 19 points from their Liga Portugal home games so far after 5-4-7.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 283 minutes without scoring a league goal. Lacava was the last player to find the net.

The fans are hoping that Vizela will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Marítimo (placed 16th). Heartbreak for Vizela in their last match as Marítimo's Winck scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Defender Silva got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.85/10. Silva hit two key passes and won 10 of 12 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Famalicão that ended 0-0.

It should be considered that a peek at the 12 most recent league matches reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).

The Vizela fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Vizela have conceded 17 in these home matches.
