Vitória Guimarães, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Famalicão will not have sat easily with the Vitória Guimarães squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Famalicão, who had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager João Miguel 'Moreno' da Cunha Teixeira will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 3 of their last 6 matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Results have been poor for Vitória SC recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Vitória Guimarães, Alisson Safira will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Sporting CP, Recent FormLast time out for Sporting CP resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Arouca in a match they really wanted to win. In that game they recorded 66 % of the possession, with 26 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 4 shots on goal.
Manager Rúben Amorim will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. They are proving tough to beat, keeping 4 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
With 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Pedro Gonçalves has given the travelling Sporting CP support something to shout about on the road.
Vitória Guimarães will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Sporting CP, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat.
Sportinguistas will be confident of finding the net in this one against Vitória SC, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 8 encounters between the two sides. In their past 5 meetings, Sporting CP's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Os Conquistadores will have to take their chances when they come. Sporting CP have managed to keep a clean sheet against Vitória SC in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. When Sporting CP are away to Os Conquistadores in the league, they know how to find the net, with 9 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 3 per game.
Sporting CP will be looking to continue their winning streak against Vitória SC having won in their last 5 meetings in the league.
