Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estadio D. Afonso Henriques will host Sunday’s football game between Vitoria Guimaraes and Moreirense, the two teams who are almost level on points in the standings. Guimaraes have drawn each of their last three league matches, but they are seen as hot favourites to win the round 10 clash. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, while defender Jorge Fernandes remains on the treatment table.
Os verdes e brancos, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in all competitions. Moreirense, though, have suffered a loss in each of the last three encounters with Guimaraes at Estadio D. Afonso Henriques, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team, but it has to be noted that all Batista, Guilherme Liberato, Sylla, and Hernani Infande misses the Boavista game.
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.
