Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. Vizela has a nice streak going on as they have played 16 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Arouca defeat 139 days ago. Two home wins in a row for Vizela bring valid hopes of a third.

It's back home for Vizela, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Académica away with the result 3-1. Samu, Francis Cann and Cassiano found the net in that victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Mafra in a game that was won 2-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
