Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Farense
Vitoria Guimaraes will be aiming to build on a thrilling 2-1 win over Porto when they take on Farense on Matchday 28. Guimaraes have been in a splendid form of late, with the team eyeing their sixth consecutive league win and, as a result, they are seen as hot favourites to beat Farense in front of home fans. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
Os Leoes de Faro, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Boavista, but given their four-game losing run on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. The good news for the visiting side is that talented Argentina midfielder Facundo Caseres is back from suspension. Midfielder Luiz Felipe is sidelined with a tendon injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
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.
