Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Floriana will try to make a miracle in the Conference League second qualifying round when they face Primeira Liga side Vitoria Guimaraes in the two-legged tie. The Maltese did well to eliminated Tre Penne in the first qualifying round, but they will have a big fish to fry in Thursday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the first leg.
Vitoria Guimaraes, on the other hand, enjoyed a very successful preseason, with the team beating the likes of Trofense, Farense U23, Middlesbrough and Rayo Vallecano. Given the numbed of high-profile players in Rui Borges’ team, away win should definitely be considered. Summer signing Jesus Ramirez, who scored 17 goals for Nacional last season, is widely expected to make his official Guimaraes debut against Floriana. The likes of Jota, Matheus Indio, Afonso Freitas, and Andre Andre are no longer part of the team.
