On Friday night, struggling Santa Clara host Vitoria Guimaraes at the Estadio de Sao Miguel in Portuguese Primeira Liga.
Santa Clara will go into this clash looking nervously over their shoulder at the teams below them, as the home side currently occupy the relegation play-off spot in the Portuguese top-flight table.
The home side is just a point clear of the danger zone and need to start picking up points quickly if they are to avoid being sucked into the drop zone.
A 4-1 defeat against Maritimo last time out means that Santa Clara have now won just one of their previous ten games in the Primeira Liga. They have also lost four of their last six league matches, which explains their position in the league table.
A poor recent home record has played its part in Santa Clara’s perilous position, as they have won just one of their last five games on home soil. However, that win was in their last home game against Arouca, as they recorded a 2-1 win.
While Santa Clara looks to move away from the relegation zone, Vitoria Guimaraes are eyeing up the top-five and European qualification for next season.
A 5-2 win over Tondela last time out was Vitoria’s third win in their last four league games.
The recent stellar run of form has moved them to within two points of the top-five in the league. A win here would certainly boost their chances of continental action next season.
However, Vitoria Guimaraes will have to improve on their travels if they are to finish in the league’s top-five, as the visitors have won just two of their last 17 away games in the Primeira Liga.
Forebet predicts that Vitoria Guimaraes will improve their away record by recording a comfortable victory in a high-scoring clash.
