Vitória Guimarães
LWDWWL
Vitória Guimarães will be hoping for a better result following a 0-3 Primeira Liga loss in their previous game against Benfica.
In that match, Vitória Guimarães managed 58% possession and 16 shots on goal with 6 on target. Benfica had 8 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Vangelis Pavlidis (21', 84') and Álvaro Carreras (77') scored for Benfica.
An interesting theme in more recent Vitória Guimarães games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
From their previous sextet of clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a losing one. Nonetheless, we will just have to wait and see if the trend will be sustained in this next match.
Coming into this meeting, Vitória Guimarães haven't won against Rio Ave in their last 2 league matches.

🗞️ Team News: Rio Ave
From our viewpoint, Rio Grande seem most likely to utilise a 4-1-4-1 formation by sending out Cezary Miszta, Joao Tome, K. Kostoulas, A. Ntoi, Nelson Abbey, Demir Tiknaz, Andre Luiz, Joao Novais, Brandon Aguilera, Joao Graca and Clayton.
⚡ Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Vitória Guimarães look likely to get amongst the goals against Rio Ave, who may well find it hard to get a goal of their own.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 2-0 win for Vitória Guimarães after 90 minutes.
