Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Guimaraes
Match Time & Date:

20:30
Prediction: 1-0
Casa Pia
Following a 1-1 draw with Porto, Vitoria Guimaraes will be aiming to move closer to the Conference League berth when they face Casa Pia on Saturday evening. Guimaraes are undefeated in the last four league games, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to represent Portugal in European competitions next season. Boss Luis Freire will be watching the game from the stands following his sending-off against Porto, while Venezuelan defender Mikel Villanueva is back from suspension.
Casa Pia, on the other hand, have been struggling on the travels of late, with the team losing to both Santa Clara and Moreirense and given Guimaraes’ need for points, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. With no fresh injury concerns to report, Joao Pereira is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Gil Vicente 1-0 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.
