Portimonense SC's wonderful run of form has nosedived in the opening matches of 2022. After losing at home to CS Marítimo, they were dumped out of the Portuguese Cup by second tier side CD Mafra. They've been leaky at the back, conceding nine goals in the last three matches. Vitória SC's run of dreadful performances were extended last time out as they were only able to react in the last minutes of the match against Gil Vicente, which they ended up losing by 3-2. They've failed to win in the last three matches. However, Portimonense SC were involved in cup action last Thursday and fatigue might be a factor that Vitória SC could take advantage of. 2:2
Moufi and Lucas Fernandes are available after missing out against Sporting CP. Both are expected to feature from the outset. Carlinhos and Aylton Boa Morte are also set to return to the starting XI after serving a ban. Portimonense have however now lost Pedro Sa and Willyan to bans. Gniannelli Imbulla and Lucas Possignolo should profit with starts. Fali Candé is on international duty and will likely be replaced by Filipe Relvas here. Samuel Portugal will be back in goal after being rested in midweek. Paulo Sérgio opted for a 3-4-3 formation last time out, but the team put in a disappointing performance against CD Mafra so he's expected to change to his usual 4-3-3 shape on Monday. André André will serve a ban after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season. André Almeida should deputise. Marcus Edwards is also suspended and won't feature here. Rochinha, who is back available, will deputise. Óscar Estupiñán and Bruno Duarte should have recovered from COVID-19 by Monday and will be in competition to start up front.
