Vizela form and stats

1-3-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Primeira Liga numbers at home for Vizela so far this season. The Vizela fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Estádio Do Vizela and will expect new points from this game. Vizela has played 17 games in a row here without a defeat.

Vizela enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Vitoria Setubal's place. The match ended 2-0 with Guilherme Schettine and A. Méndez scoring.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Primeira Liga home game that ended 1-1 versus Santa Clara.

The Vizela fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. Vizela have conceded 4 in these home matches.

Benfica form and stats

The visitors are W4-D0-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Primeira Liga. Benfica has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Moreirense.

Home advantage was not enough for Benfica in their previous game, as they lost their Champions League-match, hosting FC Bayern München, 0-4. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against FC Bayern München was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Darwin Núñez, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.15. Núñez dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Trofense (after extra-time).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Benfica manager J. Pinheiro de Jesus as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Vitoria Guimaraes.

Benfica are scoring goals for fun in their league games away this season, having clocked up more than three goals per game on average (12 goals from 4 away games). Benfica's manager J. Pinheiro de Jesus has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 2 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

Data for the prior two meetings between these two participants are: zero wins for Vizela, zero draws and two wins for Benfica. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.
