Vitória SC form and stats

2-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Primeira Liga numbers at home for Vitória SC, who have the most clean sheets (6) in Primeira Liga, so far this season.

The Vitória goalkeeper Bruno Miguel Semedo Varela is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 285 minutes without conceding a goal in the Primeira Liga.

A strong away win for Vitória SC against Santa Clara the last match, as Ricardo Quaresma, André André and Oscar Estupiñan (2) were on target. Before that, Vitória played out a League Cup draw 1-1 when visiting Benfica (after extra-time, 4-1 on penalties).

As mentioned above, Vitória "killed" Santa Clara in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Vitória have scored 2 goals here in 5 league matches, a depressing statistic. Vitória SC's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
