Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estadio D. Afonso Henriques will host Sunday’s football game between Vitoria Guimaraes and Tondela. Guimaraes suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing each of their previous three league fixtures, but a win over Tondela will see the hosts keep their Europa League hopes alive. Important centre-back Mumin is back from suspension, Ghana midfielder Amoah remains sidelined with injury.
The Yellows-Greens, on the other hand, collected only one point in total from the previous three league fixtures. Even though Tondela are not regarded as good travellers, we predict that they are going to grab something from the clash against Vitoria Guimaraes. Taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the cards, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Spanish tactician Paco Ayestaran should have a full squad to choose from for the Estadio D. Afonso Henriques clash.
