Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Alverca
Match Time & Date:
28 September 2025
15:30
Prediction: 0-1
Guimaraes
Alverca will be looking to recover from a 2-1 loss to Santa Clara when they take on Vitoria Guimaraes on Matchday 7. Alverca are desperate to escape the danger zone, but they will have a big fish to fry against Os Conquistadores. Nigerian defender Isaac James is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while forward Chiquinho remains on the sidelines with injury. The visitors, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous three league matches.
Guimaraes want to move closer to the Conference League berth and given Alverca’s shaky defence, we predict that Luis Pinto’s men are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. Speaking of the away side, Gustavo is a major doubt after picking up a knock in a 1-1 draw with Braga. Saviolo is widely expected to replace him in the starting XI if needed.
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.
