Prediction: 0-1
Guimaraes
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Boavista, Moreirense will look to retain their spot in top 10 when they face Vitoria Guimaraes on Sunday evening. Moreirense are on the right track to secure yet another Primeira Liga survival, but boss Cristiano Bacci must warn his men against complacency. The good news for the Italian tactician is that forward Ivo Rodrigues is back from suspension.
Os Vimaranenses, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the national championship. As Guimaraes are eager to represent Portugal in European competitions for yet another season, away win should be considered. When the two teams met at Estadio D. Afonso Henriques in the first half of the season, Vitoria Guimaraes defeated Moreirense 1-0, with Nelson Oliveira scoring the only goal of the match. Both Bruno Gaspar and Gustavo Silva are rated doubtful for the visiting team.
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.
