Vizela were condemned to yet another early cup exit as they finished third in Group A of the Taca da Liga after picking up just two points from a possible nine. Having kicked off their campaign with successive draws against Chaves and Segunda Liga outfit Mafra in their opening two outings, Vizela suffered a 4-0 loss against Porto in their group finale on December 16.
Vizela now turn their sights to the Primeira Liga, where they ended a three-game winless run in their final outing before the World Cup break as they saw off Pacos de Ferreira 2-0 on November 13. Manuel Tulipa’s men have picked up four wins, three draws and lost six of their 13 matches to collect 15 points and sit 13th in the league table, six points above the relegation playoff spot.
While the Vizelenses will be looking to make their return to the Primeira Liga with a win, they have struggled for results on home turf, where they are winless in six of their seven matches across all competitions this season, losing four and claiming two draws.

Vizela vs Vitória SC Team News
Vizela will take to the pitch without the services of Nigerian striker Friday Etim, who is currently suspended after picking up a straight red card in the cup clash against Mafra on December 5.
In his absence, Alexander Schmidt was tasked with leading the attack against Porto last time out and we expect the Austrian striker to retain his role up top, alongside Kiko Bondoso and Kevin Zohi, who has five goal involvements in his last seven matches.
At the opposite end of the pitch, we should see a back four of Igor Juliao, Bruno Wilson, Ivanildo Fernandes and skipper Kiki Afonso, with Fabijan Buntic between the sticks.
As for Vitoria de Guimaraes, they will be without 22-year-old midfielder Tomas Handel, who continues his long journey to full fitness after suffering a knee injury back in February.
