Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Vitória SC in 7th and Gil Vicente in 11th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Vicente are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Vitória SC form and stats
Vitória SC have played 15 Primeira Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-4-4 (wins-draws-losses).
The Vitória goalkeeper Douglas Renato de Jesus is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 205 minutes without conceding a goal in the Primeira Liga.
Vitória are returning here after visiting Portimonense in a Primeira Liga game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Bruno Duarte Da Silva scored the goal(s). Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Vitória FC.
The victory against Portimonense came after Bruno Duarte Da Silva's winning goal. The Vitória manager I. Abreu Vieira was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 62nd minute.
The manager I. Abreu Vieira will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Benfica in only four days.
The Vitória fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 25 goals in 15 league matches. From these home matches, Vitória have conceded only 13 goals.
Gil Vicente form and stats
There's been little loot from Gil Vicente's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 15 away games in the Primeira Liga. Gil Vicente only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Vicente's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Vicente are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Primeira Liga against Rio Ave (placed 6th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sporting CP wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Tondela in just four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gil Vicente as they have only managed to score 12 times from 15 away games in the league. Vicente have conceded 21 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Vitória and Gil Vicente have met before this season: Gil Vicente - Vitória SC 2-2. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Vitória, five draws and two wins for Gil Vicente. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
