Prediction: 1-1
Guimaraes
Casa Pia will be looking to continue their solid form as they take on Guimaraes at the Estadio Municipal de Rio Maior. The home side has been impressive in recent weeks and will be confident of getting a result in this clash. Cassiano, who scored as a substitute in their 1-1 draw with Gil Vicente, is likely to be recalled to the starting eleven. With no fresh injury concerns, Casa Pia should be at full strength for Saturday's encounter.
Guimaraes, on the other hand, will be aiming to bounce back after a heavy 3-0 defeat to Porto. Their performances have been inconsistent, with defensive lapses costing them valuable points. Despite their potential to cause problems, Guimaraes' form on the road remains shaky, and they will need to be more solid at the back to avoid further disappointment. Given Casa Pia’s strong run and Guimaraes’ recent ups and downs, a closely contested game is expected. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. Jorge Fernandes remains on the sidelines with injury for the away team.
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.
