After the first set of fixtures it's Vizela - Porto 3-3 in points. Who will carry the day in this second Primeira Liga game of the season?

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Vizela form and stats

The previous season, Vizela's league stats were 7 wins, 12 draws and 15 losses, producing 14th position in the Primeira Liga. In these 34 matches they scored 37 goals and conceded 58. Appearing at their own stadium in the previous season Vizela delivered 4-7-6 (win-draw-lost) with 16 goals and 21 conceded.

Vizela are returning here after visiting Rio Ave and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Moreira scored the goal(s). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Pacheco when Moreira scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute. Wilson was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.8 out of 10. The defender Wilson won 4 of 6 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Vizela lost 1-4 at Moreirense's place.

No one expects the home team to get anything from this game. It's not often a home team are such massive outsiders as in this game. We've searched our database for matches where Vizela had similar winning odds as today, and found 4 games. In these, the hosts won 0, drew 0 and lost 4. Betting people looking at handicaps might be interested to know that Vizela lost 3 similar games by at least two goals.

Porto form and stats

Let's have a look at how Porto performed last season in the Primeira Liga: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 29 victories, 4 draws and 1 defeat. In total they scored 86 and conceded 22 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 14 - drew 2 and lost 1 with 36/11 goals scored/conceded.

Porto are travelling after their nice 5-1 home win in the game against Maritimo (placed 17th). As mentioned above, Porto was the only team on the pitch versus Maritimo in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task. The attacker Taremi got a match rating of 9.2 in that game. Taremi scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 6 times.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Porto given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed 8 matches with 7 wins as expected, 1 draw and 0 surprise home wins. The favourites won 5 of these games by at least two goals.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head numbers (for the previous three meetings): Vizela won zero games, zero matches ended with a draw and Porto got three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / zero
