Vitoria Guimaraes vs Estoril Prediction: Expect some goals

Both teams started the season with wins. Vitoria Guimaraes won in the first round against Chavez as visitors, while Estoril won 2:0 at home against Famalicao and both teams will want to continue with wins. Guimaraes didn’t qualify for the UEFA Conference league group stage and they will want to get back to wins as soon as possible. This fixture between Vitoria de Guimaraes and Estoril is set to be a tremendously exciting contest. New faces have arrived in Estoril despite being an excellent defensive team, they may try to explore the hosts fatigue by approaching this encounter with a more offensive posture.

Guimaraes failed to qualify for European competition this season and it is very disappointing for them and their fans. Now they can focus on the domestic championship and try to reach higher place at the table at the end of the season. When playing at home they are more dangerous but now against Estoril it will be tight since Guimaraes had a match in midweek and failed to accomplish the goal to play in European competition which will certainly leave a mark on their form.

Estoril is a typical Portuguese team, they have their good and bad moments, but it is clear that they can’t repeat the success from few seasons when they were playing in Europa League. In the first match they showed character but we will see if they can play like that throughout all season.

Tradition is on the side of the home team, while Estoril’s record this year in away matches is zero wins, two draws and six defeats.

Guimaraes is undefeated at home this year winning 3 and drawing 3 matches after the defeat from Porto in April. The managers will not have major problems with the squads as almost everybody is fit and ready.

• Guimaraes to win for 1.96
• Guimaraes to score over 1.5 goals for 2.10
• Both teams to score for 1.89
