Prediction: 3-1
Mlada Boleslav
Guimaraes will be looking to extend their perfect start in the Conference League as they host Mlada Boleslav. Known for their strong home form, the Portuguese side have consistently shown resilience and attacking flair on their turf. Despite the absence of Toni Borevkovic due to suspension, Guimaraes have enough quality across the pitch to maintain their dominant run, with the crowd at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques behind them.
The Czech visitors, Mlada Boleslav, face an uphill battle after struggling in recent Conference League outings. They’ve fallen to both Noah and Lugano without managing to score, indicating issues in converting chances and maintaining defensive stability. Adding to their troubles, key players Kozel and Masek are sidelined with injuries, limiting their options and putting extra pressure on the remaining squad members. Given Guimaraes’ imposing home record and Mlada Boleslav’s recent difficulties, the hosts are clear favorites. Prediction: Home win for Guimaraes as they look to keep their 100% record intact.
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.
