Betting on Vitoria Guimaraes
First, Vitoria Guimaraes is in sixth place in the table and is tied on points and goal difference with Casa Pia. After 19 matches played, they have won nine, drawn three, and lost seven. Furthermore, they have scored 18 goals and conceded 20, for a net goal difference of -2 and 30 points.
In their last five matches of the Portuguese Primeira Liga they have shown some improvement, as they had a draw (0-0 vs Rio Ave), two consecutive defeats (2-1 vs Gil Vicente; 0-1 vs Porto), and two important victories that served to boost their morale and confidence (2-1 vs Chaves; 0-1 vs Estoril).
Now, they arrive with this good feeling for the match against Portimonense and hope to rely on the players who have scored the most in recent matches: Anderson Silva, Tiago Silva, and Alisson Pelegrini Safira. Undoubtedly, their objective will be to break the tie with Casa Pia and move closer in points to Sporting, who is in fourth place in the table with 38 points.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Bruno Varela; Mikel Villanueva, Ibrahima Bamba, André Amaro; Alfonso de Freitas, Tiago Silva, Dani Silva, Miguel Magalhes; Anderson Silva, Alisson Pelegrini Safra, João dos Santos.
Betting on Portimonense
On the other hand, Portimonense is 11th in the table with the same number of matches played. The team has won seven, drawn two, and lost ten. Not only are they looking to balance their win/loss ratio, but they also have a huge opportunity to move up three places in the standings should they emerge victorious from this match.
In terms of goals, they have scored 16 but conceded 25, for a total goal difference of -9. However, in terms of recent results, out of five Primeira Liga matches, they have lost three (1-0 vs Benfica; 4-0 vs Arouca; 4-2 vs Boavista), drawn one (0-0 vs Santa Clara), and won the most recent match at home (1-0 vs Paços Ferreira).
They only managed to score three goals in five games, thanks to the efforts of Maurício, Moufi, and Paulo Estrela, but this victory and the possibility of climbing so high up the standings may give them the push they need to win.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Kosuke Nakamura; Pedrão, Lucas Alves, Filipe Relvas; Maurício Moufi, Paulo Estrela, Pedro Sá, Gustavo Klismahn, Moustapha Seck; Welinton Junior, Bryan Róchez.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Portimonense will be a difficult opponent, Vitória Guimarães comes with better results and more goals per game. Additionally, of the last three away games Portimonense has played, it has lost all of them.
