Prediction: 1-1
Famalicao
Wednesday’s football match between Vitoria Guimaraes and Famalicao will bring down the curtain on day 32 of the 2020/21 Primeira Liga campaign. Guimaraes are on the right track to book their place in the Europa Conference League, and a win over Famalicao should see them move one step closer to meeting the goal. Os Vimaranenses will be without suspended defender Easah Suliman in the midweek clash, while experienced winger Ricardo Quaresma should be recalled to the starting XI.
Famalicao, on the other hand, are on the right track to secure yet another Primeira Liga survival as they are four points clear of the relegation zone. Considering that both teams should be happy with one point from the match, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Famalicao boss Ivo Vieira should have a full squad to choose from.
