Both Vizela and Belenenses will be looking to return to winning ways when they lock horns in a crucial week 13 Primeira Liga fixture at the Estadio do Futebol Clube de Vizela on Monday night with kickoff at 23:15.
Vizela have received a hash and tough welcome back to the Portuguese top-tier with the club claiming just one win in their 12 matches while picking up seven draws and suffering four defeats in the process. They currently sit just a point above the relegation zone in the 15th on 10 points.
They head into the match in a poor form as they have now gone 10 matches without a win in the Primeira Liga and are coming off a 4-1 defeat at Braga last Tuesday. They have been among the worst sides at the back conceding 20 goals this season while scoring 10 in return.
However, Vizela have been a hard nut to crack at home this season as they have only lost one of their six home league matches so far and therefore, they will be looking to build on their home record as they aim at climbing further away from the danger zone.
Meanwhile Belenenses have recorded a disappointing campaign this season, winning one, drawing five while suffering six defeats from their 12 matches to collect eight points, which have left them sitting in the 17th spot with two points adrift of safety.
They head into the match in poor form in the Primeira Liga, winning just one of their last six matches while picking up two draws and three defeats in the run and are coming off a 7-0 home humiliation by Benfica last Saturday.
Belenenses will be looking register their second win of the season in the league in this match as aim at climbing out of the relegation zone. The visitors will also be looking to continue their dominance over Vizela as they have won in both meetings against their hosts.
