Benfica vs Vitoria Guimaraes Predictions

• Benfica have conceded four goals in four games this season.
• Guimaraes have hit four goals across their last two games.
• Benfica won the corresponding fixture 5-1 last season.

League leaders face the champions

Guimaraes have made a perfect start in the Primeira Liga but they face a stern test at champions Benfica on Saturday.

Benfica suffered a surprise loss at Boavista in their season opener but have responded with two successive wins, and they can claim the spoils when they host the early pacesetters this weekend.

Back Benfica to concede and win

Benfica are generally strong at the back at their Estádio da Luz home but they have shown some signs of vulnerability this term, conceding four goals in four games in total.

They are yet to concede at home, but Guimaraes have scored in all of their games – hitting five goals in total – and they managed a goal when they visited this ground towards the end of last season, going down 5-1.

With the visitors in good form they should at least be able to grab a consolation effort, so a home win with both teams to score appeals.

A 3-1 win for Benfica is the correct score prediction as they have scored at least twice in all four of their games so far, hitting 10 goals in total.

Rafa Silva is in form for the home side and has scored in each of his last three appearances, so he looks the best bet for an anytime effort.
