Vitória S.C. v Alverca: hosts look to extend home run as visitors seek momentum | OneFootball

Vitória S.C. host Alverca in Liga Portugal on Saturday, 28 February 2026 at Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques, with the home side aiming to build on successive league wins in Guimarães and the visitors arriving after back-to-back draws.

Alverca won the reverse fixture 2-0 in September, so Vitória S.C. have a chance to respond on home turf. The hosts have alternated wins and losses across their past five league games, but crucially have strung together two straight home victories.

Alverca are without a win in four league matches yet have tightened up with consecutive 1-1 draws. Away form has been tough this season, with only eight points collected on the road, while Serbian forward Marko Milovanovic leads their league scoring with seven goals.

Vitória S.C. lean on wide delivery and aerial moments, having scored six headed goals and produced a high volume of open-play crosses. That route could test an Alverca defence that has conceded 38 league goals. Conversely, the visitors may look to play through Milovanovic against a back line that has allowed 34.

A home win would move Vitória S.C. to 34 points and may nudge them up the table. Three points for Alverca would take them to 29 and could ease pressure in the lower half as the season enters its run-in.
