In that game they had 55% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Gil Vicente who had 12 attempts and 5 on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 27 of their 30 games this season and recorded 19 clean sheets.
