1 victory, 4 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Vizela have to build on here at Estádio Do Vizela in the Primeira Liga.

It's back home for Vizela, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Arouca away with the result 4-1. Samu and Schettine (2) found the net in that victory.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Sporting Braga.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sporting Braga are coming to town in four days.
