The Dragões made the trip to Estadio Municipal de Famalicao to lock horns with Famalicao in their recent match, where they displayed an impressive performance to record a commanding 4:2 victory thanks to Mehdi Taremi's exceptional form, which saw him bag a haul.

They have been a force to be reckoned with in recent weeks, mainly owing to their 10-match winning streak across all competitions, with the most highlighted match being a 3:2win over Famalicao at home in the Taca de Portugal semi-final to book themselves a ticket to the final, where they'll get to face Braga and hopefully clinch their 19th Taca de Portugal trophy.

Home advantage has been the foundation of their success this season in the Primeira Liga, as they have amassed 42 points from 14 wins and 2 losses, and it's also worth mentioning that they are currently on a five-match winning streak.

They presently occupy second place with 82 points and are two points behind table leaders Benfica, making collecting all three points here crucial if they are to have the slightest chance of finishing in first place.

Formation: 4-4-2

Going into this game, Vitoria de Guimaraes played host to Gil Vicente at the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques, where a second-half stoppage-time goal from Anderson saw them eke out a narrow 1:0 triumph, and it's undeniable that they had some difficulties in that match trying to break down their opponents solid defense.

In their Primeira Liga, they have secured back-to-back victories that currently witness them on a four-match winning streak, and without a shadow of a doubt, they have typified consistency as they aim for their fifth consecutive win against Sergio Conceicao's side.

On the road, they have not been convincing to the eye as they have struggled for form, having won only eight of their last 16 matches while recording six wins and two draws. It's also worth mentioning that they have won two consecutive matches against Rio Ave (1:0) and Maritimo (2:1) on the road; however, before this, they were on a three-match losing streak, which was a poor display of performance from them.

In the standings, they have secured their spot in the Europa League qualifiers, as they presently occupy fifth place with 53 points and are two points ahead of FC Arouca in sixth place.

Formation: 3-4-3
