Prediction: 1-2
Guimaraes
Nacional and Vitoria Guimaraes square off against each other at Estadio de Madeira in what is expected to be an interesting Primeira Liga game. Nacional are sitting in the middle of the table with nothing to play for in the season finale; therefore, home win should not be considered. Goalkeeper Ruin Encarnacao is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Os Branquinhos, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Rio Ave. As Guimaraes want this win more than Nacional, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. With no fresh injury concerns to report, Luis Freire is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Os Rioavistas at the weekend. In their last meeting in the Portuguese top flight, the two teams played out a 2-2 draw and yet another high-scoring affair is on the cards.
Highlighted Team (Guimaraes):
Vitoria Guimaraes have always been in the shadow of famous Portuguese sides Porto, Benfica and Sporting, but over the years they have established themselves as a top-table side in the Primeira Liga. Os Vimaranenses did well to win Taca de Portugal in the 2012/2013 season, wi the team beating Benfica in the final of the domestic cup.
Vitoria Guimaraes finished the 2016/2017 Primeira Liga campaign in fourth place in the standings and, as a result, they booked their place in the Europa League qualifiers. The Portuguese side will face the likes of Salzburg, Konyaspor and Olympic Marseille in Group I and they are seen as underdogs in their group. Vitoria Guimaraes welcome their rivals at Estadio D. Alfonso Henriques and the venue can hold up to 30.000 spectators.
Os Vimaranenses play their home games in white shirts and white shorts, whilst they wear black when playing on the road. Their neighbours Braga are considered Guimaraes’ fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in the derby of Minho Province.
