Vizela form and stats

Vizela's struggle is real here at Estádio Do Vizela with only 7 points collected from 7 Primeira Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-2. When Vizela hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Vizela, Santa Clara, Tondela, Famalicao and Moreirense), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

Vizela haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 232 minutes ago. Schettine scored that one.

No payout for Vizela in their previous match, an away game at Maritimo that ended in defeat 0-2. Attacking player Samu bested all teammates in that game and was awarded a match rating of 7.11 out of 10. Samu had 28 successful passes (of 35 total).

Ahead of that match, Vizela won a home game hosting Sporting Braga (1-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Vizela have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost zero.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Vizela here at Estádio Do Vizela in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 7 games). 10 goals have been conceded.

Belenenses form and stats

There's been little loot from Belenenses's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 7 away games in the Primeira Liga. Belenenses only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. With the Belenenses losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Pedro was the last player to score for the away team. Belenenses haven't scored a league goal in the last 360 minutes.

Belenenses has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Rio Ave (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) for a Taça De Portugal game that ended a draw (1-1).

It was a Primeira Liga defeat before that one as the away game against Sporting Braga wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Belenenses are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, five draws and two defeats. From a total of ten matches.

Goals are few and far between in Belenenses's away league games. Only 2 goals from 7 travels. 9 goals have been conceded by Belenenses in these games.

Head 2 Head

Vizela-Belenenses H2H statistics last two meetings regardless of arena: Vizela zero wins, Belenenses two wins, zero draws. one of these two matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
