Vitoria Guimaraes vs FC Porto Predictions

• Porto have won five of their last six games in all competitions
• Vitoria Guimaraes have scored 14 goals in their last five matches
• Both teams have scored in three of Vitoria Guimaraes’s last five games

Porto switch attention back to Primeira Liga duties

Porto went level with Barcelona on nine points in their Champions League group on Tuesday night but they have work to do in the Primeira Liga heading into this weekend’s clash with Vitoria Guimaraes.

A 2-0 win over Antwerp on Tuesday put Porto on nine points in their Champions League group – the same tally as Barca who slipped up against Shakhtar Donetsk – but in the Primeira Liga they are six points adrift of top spot.

Last Friday Porto suffered a major setback with a shock 1-0 loss at home to Estoril Praia but they have still won five of their last six games in all competitions and can come up trumps against Vitoria Guimaraes.

Hosts Guimaraes are not far off Porto in the league, trailing their opponents by only three points, although they also lost last time out, having been beaten 1-0 by Moreirense.

Expect goals with Guimaraes involved

The Estoril defeat should be a wake-up call for Porto, who restored some confidence with the Antwerp win in midweek, and they can claim maximum points at the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques, where they won 1-0 back in January. 

Porto may, however, struggle to keep a clean sheet in this one with Guimaraes plundering 17 goals in ten matches, so back an away win and both teams to score.

As for a correct score prediction, Porto have scored twice in three of their last five matches, so a bet on 2-1 could be the way to go.
