Vitória SC form and stats
5 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats. That’s what Vitória SC have to build on here at Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques in the Primeira Liga. It's trouble wherever Vitória are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Vitória, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Vitória faced defeat in their previous match, away at Portimonense (0-3). Ahead of that match, Vitória lost 1-2 at home to Tondela.
Vitória SC are traveling soon after this match as the Primeira Liga match at Porto awaits in four days.
The Vitória SC fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 13 matches. Vitória have conceded 22 from these games.
Santa Clara form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Primeira Liga travels is 5 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Santa are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
The supporters enjoyed Santa's previous game versus Nacional (placed 18th), a Primeira Liga 5-1 win played at home. A 1-2 defeat away at Porto before that.
As you can tell from the results above, Santa was very dominant against Nacional, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with Mikel Villanueva, Carlos Junior, Ukra and Rui Costa (2) providing the goals.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Moreirense in just four days.
Santa have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 15 goals have been scored. 16 goals have been conceded by Santa in these games.
