FC Porto vs Vitoria Guimaraes Predictions

• Porto have won 12 of their last 13 home games
• Vitoria are on a run of 11 successive defeats against Porto
• They have also lost six times this season – three of which have come to teams in the top half

Porto need victories – and quick

With a nine point gap to make up to the UEFA Champions League places, Porto simply cannot afford to lose this fixture, as they look to extend a run of 12 wins from their last 13 home games.

Sérgio Conceição’s side have generally been in pretty good touch in the league lately, landing three victories in a row until losing to Estoril last time out.

The incredible statistic that they have not suffered back-to-back defeats in the Primeira Liga since April 2016 suggests supporters should have every confidence of their team returning to form here.

Vitoria hate playing Porto

The fact Porto are taking on Vitoria is a help too, given the visitors have lost 11 successive head-to-heads, including a 1-0 cup defeat on Wednesday.

They have only lost six times in the league this season, but three of those matches have been against teams currently in the top half of the table.

Naturally, one was against bogey side Porto, 4-0 in the reverse fixture, while they have only won three of their last seven matches on the road.

I predict that Porto will win this game, with 2-1 my correct score prediction.
