A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Vitória SC fans are optimistic that the difference between 6th and Farense's 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Vitória SC have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Farense has the fewest clean sheets (0) in Primeira Liga
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Vitória SC form and stats
4 victories, 0 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Vitória SC have to build on here at Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques in the Primeira Liga.
The Vitória fans got no joy from their last match, a Primeira Liga game also here at Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques: A 1-3 defeat against Rio Ave (placed 9th). Before that, Vitória played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Belenenses.
The penalty miss from Ricardo Quaresma in the defeat against Rio Ave was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
The manager J. Oliveira Nunes Henriques will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Pacos de Ferreira in only four days.
Vitória has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Vitória SC have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Farense form and stats
There's been little loot from Farense's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games in the Primeira Liga. Farense, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Primeira Liga, only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw.
Farense play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Nacional (placed 10th). A 1-2 loss hosting Moreirense before that.
A new game in only four days for Farense, the Primeira Liga home match versus Benfica. Busy days.
The attacking power of Farense when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Farense have conceded 14 goals on the road.
