Prediction: 1-1
Gil Vicente
Guimaraes and Gil Vicente square off against each other in the Primeira Liga round 2 in what is expected to be a close encounter. Guimaraes quickly recovered from the shocking Conference League elimination to Celje, with the team beating ten-man Estrela thanks to Jota Silva’s goal and, no doubt, the win undoubtedly injected them with a boost of confidence. Boss Joao Aroso has a luxury to field the best possible starting XI against Gil Vicente.
Os Galos, meanwhile, produced a splendid performance in a 5-0 crushing of Portimonense, but beating Guimaraes away from home is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at Estadio F. Afonso Henriques and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. A man to keep an eye on in the visiting team will be Japan forward Kanya Fujimoto, who scored a brace in the season opener.
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.
