Prediction: 0-2
Guimaraes
Boavista will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Santa Clara when they take on Guimaraes in the Primeira Liga round 25. The Black and Whites did well to put an end to their dreadful losing run, but despite the triumph, they are still sitting in the relegation zone. The rock-bottom aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Guimaraes.
Moussa Kone is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with Gregory Ariyibi likely to step up. The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Casa Pia. As Guimaraes will have a number of opportunities to score on the break, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. Bearing any fresh injury worries, manager Luis Freire is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Casa Pia at the weekend.
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.
