Prediction: 2-1
Gil Vicente
Guimaraes will look to continue their strong home form when they face Gil Vicente at Estadio D. Afonso Henriques. The hosts aim to move closer to the Conference League berth and are eyeing their fourth home win of the season. Despite the absence of influential midfielder Tiago Silva, who is suspended for this clash, Guimaraes are surely capable of matching Os Galos at home ground.
Gil Vicente, on the other hand, have struggled to find consistency away from home this season. Their defensive struggles and inability to perform under pressure on the road leave them vulnerable against a well-organized Guimaraes side. The visitors will need to significantly improve if they are to avoid leaving empty-handed. The history between these two sides also favors the home team, with Guimaraes claiming a 2-1 victory in their last meeting at this venue. Given their current form and home advantage, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts.
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.
