All eyes will be on Estadio D. Afonso Henriques when Vitoria Guimaraes and Benfica lock horns in the Primeira Liga derby. Guimaraes have been having their ups and downs in the first half of the season, with the team sitting in 11th place in the standings and they face an uphill task against the title hopefuls. Both Gustavo and Nogueira are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Eagles, on the other hand, aim to build on the Taca da Liga win over Tondela. Benfica want to melt Porto’s advantage in the Primeira Liga standings and given Guimaraes’ poor display in a 2-0 loss to Famalicao, there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. Jose Mourinho rested several first-team regulars in the midweek clash, but “The Special One” is going to field the best possible side against Guimaraes, including key attacker Vangelis Pavlidis, who scored a hat-trick in a 5-0 crushing of Arouca.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Saturday 1 November 2025 at 20:30.
