Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Estoril
Following back-to-back defeats to Benfica and Portimonense, Vitoria Guimaraes played out a goalless draw with Casa Pia in their last league match. Guimaraes aim to return to winning ways in the national championship this weekend and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach against Estoril. Both Ricardo Mangas and Mikel Villanueva are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
Os Canarinhos collected only one point in total from the last four league matches and given their difficulties at the back, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. Estoril boss Vasco Seabra should have a full squad to choose from this time out, but that is unlikely to help the visiting side grab something from the match. You should know that Guimaraes are eyeing their fourth consecutive win over Estoril in the Portuguese top flight.
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.
