Standard Liege vs Vitoria Guimaraes Predictions

Standard Liege ran out 4-1 winners away at Oostende at the weekend to make it four wins from their last six matches, while Vitoria Guimaraes hammered Aves 5-1 and will be confident in their own abilities to go out and get a decent result on Thursday.

All of the stats suggest that Vitoria Guimaraes are more than capable of picking up a point or three from Thursday’s match and we’ve backed the visitors with a double chance bet.

There is no previous history between these two clubs but the pair are both in decent form and have been scoring and conceding goals on a regular basis, which is why we’ve backed a 1-1 draw between the two sides. Both teams scored in four of Standard Liege’s last six matches as well as in three of Vitoria Guimaraes’ last five games.

Standard Liege have lost two of their last six matches, while Vitoria Guimaraes have only lost one of their last six matches. The visitors have drawn two of their last three away games 1-1, which is why we have backed the same final scoreline for Thursday’s match rather than backing an outright win for Vitoria Guimaraes.

Vitoria Guimaraes have conceded an average of one goal per game over their last six matches and Standard Liege have only kept one clean sheet in their last six attempts but have only failed to score in one of their last six matches, adding more weight to our prediction of both teams to score and the game to end 1-1.

We believe that Vitoria Guimaraes have the better of the two squads and test themselves against tougher opposition week in week out which is why we believe they could win on Thursday and that’s what makes a double chance bet the best way to go. We’re confident that a double chance bet will payout on Thursday and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams are playing well right now and have been scoring goals but not keeping many clean sheets and that’s what makes a 1-1 draw the most likely result from Thursday’s clash.
