X-ray of Vitória de Setúbal

From the last season to this one there are a lot of changes and many new faces in the squad from the sadinos.  17 players came in, 19 left the club and there is even a new coach at the club: Lito Vidigal. None the less, despite having a practically new squad in 2018/19, V. Setúbal has been carrying out a good season start: they sit 7th in the Liga NOS, they are present in the eighth-finals of the Portuguese Cup, where they will host SC Braga, and are in the group stage of the League Cup, but with no chance of going through to the final four.
