Prediction: 1-0
Estrela
Buoyed by a hard-fought 2-1 win over Boavista, Vitoria Guimaraes will be aiming to overtake Santa Clara in fifth position when they face Estrela on Sunday afternoon. Guimaraes are eyeing their third consecutive league win, but bear in mind that they could feel a bit tired following the Conference League clash with Real Betis. Tiago Silva is pushing for a start after scoring the winner against as Panteras, while Gustavo Silva remains in the recovery room.
Os Tricolores, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. Despite Estrela’s desire to escape the danger zone, we are tempted to bet on Guimaraes, who have turned their Estadio D. Afonso Henriques into a real fortress. To make things even more complicated for the away team, experienced forward Rodrigo Pinho serves a one-game ban due to accumulation of yellow cards.
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.
