AVS are league newcomers, but already show good results – 12th place in the standings, and a gap of four points from the relegation zone. The team is sharpened for counterattacks – it often gives possession to opponents, waiting for the right moment for a quick attack, and therefore is among the four worst teams in the championship in this indicator, and also, the team is among the four worst in terms of shots on goal per match. In defense things are much worse – the team concedes 1.4 goals per match on average.
Porto is second in the standings, and has a gap of three points from Sporting, but even if the clubs equalize on points, on goal difference, the reigning champion will still be ahead of them by about 10 goals. Therefore, it is important for the guests to keep their second position. The team is good in all aspects – scoring 2.3 goals per match on average, and conceding only 0.5. In addition, Vitor Bruno’s wards are among the top three teams in the league in two indicators at once: in terms of possession, and in the number of clean sheet matches.
