Goal Statistics

Sporting Lisbon's forwards have been superb of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 3 consecutive Liga NOS games. A PG of 2.0 suggests that run should continue on Saturday evening.

Sporting Lisbon's defensive record is to be admired, Piero Braglia's men having conceded 1 or less in 9 consecutive Liga NOS matches. An average PG rating of 1.0 for Vitoria Guimaraes makes sense in this context.
