On Wednesday night, Vitoria Guimaraes host Boavista at the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques, as the home side look to push closer to the Primeira Liga’s top-five.
Vitoria Guimaraes are currently seventh-place in the standings but are just two points shy of the top-five and the league’s European qualification spots for next season. A recent inconsistent run of form has not helped Pepa’s team’s chances of climbing into the top-five.
A 1-0 defeat against Santa Clara last time out means that Vitoria Guimaraes have won two and lost two of their last four matches in the Primeira Liga.
The game at Santa Clara broke a high-scoring trend for Guimaraes games of late, as eight of their previous nine league matches had produced over 2.5 goals.
Vitoria Guimaraes have a good recent home record in the Primeira Liga, as they have won their last three league matches on home soil. They have also scored at least two goals in all three recent home wins.
Boavista are currently ninth-place in the table, but seven points adrift of the home team. The visitors are also just four points clear of the relegation play-off spot in the Portuguese top-flight.
A 1-0 win over Moreirense last time out in the Primeira Liga ended an 11-game winless run for the visitors, which was highly concerning for everybody connected with the club. The game also brought a first clean sheet in six league matches for the visitors.
Boavista have struggled to pick up results on their travels, as they are winless in seven away games in the Primeira Liga. They have also conceded at least two goals in five straight league matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Vitoria Guimaraes will improve their chances of moving into the league’s top-five by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
