Vitoria Guimaraes vs FC Zurich Predictions

• Last week’s first leg ended in a convincing 3-0 win for Vitoria Guimaraes
• Vitoria Guimaraes have won all three of their European matches this season to nil
• Zurich have failed to score in three of their previous four away matches in Europe

Vitoria to qualify in style

Vitoria Guimaraes already have one foot in the next round of Conference League qualifying after their 3-0 victory in Zurich last week and they can hammer home that advantage back on their own patch.

Rui Borges’ side have made light work of qualifying to date, winning all three of their matches, including last week’s first leg in Switzerland, without conceding a goal, a sequence they can continue on Thursday.

Zurich have failed to score in three of their last four away matches in Europe, including against Shelbourne in the previous round of Conference League qualifying this season. Their continental adventure is set to be convincingly ended on Thursday.

Gulf between two sides clear to see

Zurich were outclassed in every department by their Portuguese opponents last week, with Vitoria boasting 63 percent possession, registering 17 shots to their host’s six and topping the corner count 12-4.

There is no reason to expect anything different on Thursday, even if Vitoria do take their foot off the gas slightly, and with home advantage they can replicate that 3-0 scoreline.

Vitoria are no strangers to convincing home victories in Europe, as they have won three of their previous four Conference League qualifiers at the Estadio D. Afonso Henriques, including a 3-0 success over Puskas Akademia.
