Go for Guimaraes to beat Primeira newcomers

Vitoria Guimaraes are in good shape to return a victory against promoted Casa Pia in Monday’s clash at Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques. Os Conquistadores will have influential forward André Silva back in their ranks after he missed last week’s 2-1 defeat at Portimonense with gastroenteritis.

The 25-year-old Brazilian, who scored nine goals in struggling Arouca side last term, bagged in both his previous appearances for Guimaraes in victories over Chaves and Estoril. Aside from that boost, the hosts should handle Casa Pia’s rather limited threat.

Hosts can manage another clean sheet

The visitors, making their first post-war appearance in the Portuguese top flight, gained promotion in second place last season – but lost three of their last five away games. There was a degree of proficiency on display in their opening away game of this season at Santa Clara, but they failed to convert any chances and had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Guimaraes have won three of their last five league games to nil and that should be the play here. Os Conquistadores won their last home game against Estoril by a solitary goal – as they did when they last met Casa Pia in a cup competition, so that looks an easy call in correct score betting.
