Prediction: 1-0
Guimaraes
Estadio Antonio Coimbra de Mota will host Friday’s football game between Estoril and Vitoria Guimaraes. Os Canarinhos kicked off the new Primeira Liga campaign with a 2-0 win at Arouca, and they are now on a quest to record their first home triumph of the season. Summer signing Ryotaro Meshino, who scored as a substitute in the season opener, is widely expected to return to start this time out.
You should know that Estoril outplayed Guimaraes 3-0 in their last meeting at the venue. The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Portimonense. Vitoria Guimaraes are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Lisbon, and given Estoril’s display in the triumph over Arouca, home win should definitely be considered. Both Nabian and Lameiras are pushing for a start for the visiting 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.
