Santa Clara v Vitoria Match preview

Stuck in 16^th place in the league standings with just 10 points from 14 games, the hosts are in real trouble. They have lost eight games already this season and in the last five games, have conceded 12 goals which makes for a very grim outlook for the Azoreans.

Guimaraes on the other hand, are in 7^th place in the league standings. While they have scored 21 goals so far, the visitors tend to concede goals regularly which is the main reason why they’ve dropped so many points. Regardless, Vitoria will be feeling confident about their chances of getting the right result since they have had the upper hand in this fixture in recent years.
