Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
After suffering a heavy 5-1 loss to Benfica before the international break, Vitoria Guimaraes will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Pacos Ferreira on Matchday 26. Moreno’s troops have been struggling at the back of late, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Cesar Peixoto’s troops. Both Ibrahima Bamba and Bruno Varela are sidelined with injuries, while Jorge Fernandes and Ze Carlos are major doubts.
Os Castores, on the other hand, head into Saturday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with Arouca. Ferreira are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but seeing that they have already suffered eight defeats on the road this term, we are going to bet on Guimaraes. Both Guedes and Bernardo, who suffered injuries in the last league match, are rated doubtful for the game, and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Team (Ferreira):
Founded on April 5, 1950, Pacos de Ferreira are a Portuguese football club who play their home games at Estadio da Mata Real. The venue can hold up to 9,077 people and it was opened in October 7, 1973. Os Castores are well known for their yellow shirts and green shorts, with the team wearing white and black kit when playing on the travels.
Pacos de Ferreira have yet to win the Primeira Liga trophy, but they did well to make it to the Taca de Portugal final in the 2008/2009 season. Os Castores faced Porto in the title game, with the Dragons attacker Lisandro Lopez scoring the only game of the match.
Two seasons later Pacos de Ferreira faced Benfica in the Taca da Liga final, with the Eagles lifting the trophy. Wolverhampton forward Diogo Jota is one of notable footballers who started their senior careers at Pacos de Ferreira.
