Struggling Vitória FC will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Famalicão in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Famalicão could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Primeira Liga game only four sleeps ago.
Relegation threatens Vitória who should definitely be looking for some points here. Famalicão are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Vitória FC form and stats
Overall Primeira Liga stats at home this season for Vitória FC are 3-7-5 (wins-draw-losses). All in all it has been a very rough period for Vitória FC who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Tondela, 169 days ago. Vitória are slowly digging their own grave here at Estádio do Bonfim with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Desportivo Aves match.
No payout for Vitória FC in their previous match, an away game at Desportivo Aves that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that match was the home game against Paços de Ferreira that was lost 2-3.
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Nuno Valente for missing a penalty kick versus Desportivo Aves in the 7th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
