Vitoria de Guimaraes has never been the same since their 1-0 away defeat to Estoril Praia on January 26. This is also the same team that went three games without a win since the turn of the year.
Since then, the Conquerors have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. The hosts are unbeaten in their last ten league games, recording six wins and four draws. During this impressive run, they kept things tight at the back, maintaining seven shutouts.
Luis Freire's men did not have an easy match against Gil Vicente on the road. However, Gustavo Silva managed to find a way for his team to claim maximum points as his sole strike strike in the 77th minute was enough to see them secure a slender 1-0 victory. This extended their winning streak to two games.
Vitoria de Guimaraes: Team News
Gustavo Silva has scored six goals for Vitoria de Guimaraes in 16 appearances this season. The 25-year-old is expected to lead the attack in a 4-3-3 formation with Mendes and Arcanjo, providing the necessary support from the wings.
In the injury report side of things, the team has nothing to report about. They should have a clean bill of health to seriously challenge their opponents in this one.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Varela; Maga, Villanueva, Borevkovic, Mendes; Handel, Silva, Samu; Mendes, Silva, Arcanjo
⛔️ Out: None
👤 Head coach: Luis Freire

Benfica had one job to do in their latest league match against minnows FC Arouca. The objective was simple: claim three points and strengthen their position at the top of the Primeira Liga summit. However, that seemed too much for the visitors to handle as they squandered their lead twice to be held to a 2-2 draw at home.
The Eagles still remain a force to be reckoned with despite that setback. They have avoided defeat in their last ten matches, claiming an impressive nine wins and one draw.
While the hosts have displayed a solid defence during the last ten matches, the visitors have flexed their potent offence with 28 goals. Away from home, they are currently on a five-match winning streak.

Vitoria de Guimaraes vs Benfica
This is a matchup between defensive and offensive masterclass, and I expect the latter to come out on top. The visitors have been dominant in this fixture. Six wins in nine encounters is enough for me to believe they will come out of this one unscathed.
However, I don't want to focus much on the full-time result when both these sides meet. I'm expecting to see an entertaining affair with goals at both ends of the pitch. The last four matches between these two sides have produced 15 goals combined. That said, supporting over 2.5 goals is the best option here.
Our match prediction: Total - Over 2.5 for 1.82 with 1xbet.
Our betting tip on the match: Benfica Total - Over 2.5 for 2.95 with Betway.
Our final betting tip on the match: Full-time Result - Benfica for 1.60 with Bet365.
