Vitoria Guimaraes vs FCSB Predictions

A 0-0 draw in Romania last week means that this tie is finely poised heading into Thursday’s 2nd leg in Portugal, but the form and performances of the home side over the last month or so suggest that Vitoria Guimaraes will book their place in the next round.

All of the stats point towards a comfortable home win for Vitoria Guimares, despite the hosts’ last three games all ending in draws, as FCSB have struggled to score goals of late and have been conceding a lot of them in recent weeks.

Vitoria Guimaras are unbeaten in their last eleven matches in all competitions and have beaten the likes of Ventspils, Feirense, Jeunesse d’Esch, Famalicao, and Aves during that period, while FCSB have lost three of their last five matches, the last one of which was away from home.

Vitoria Guimares have won three of their last six matches and have kept four clean sheets during that period, which suggests that FCSB could struggle to score once again. FCSB have failed to score in three of their last six matches, which includes their last two games against Guimaraes and Gaz Metan Medias.

Vitoria Guimaraes have scored twelve goals in their last six matches, putting six past Ventspils at home in the last qualifying round of the Europa League, while FCSB have conceded nine goals in their last six matches, including their last match against Gaz Metan Medias which ended in a 4-0 defeat.

We’re confident that Vitoria Guimaraes will win to nil on Thursday and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-0. The hosts boast an excellent defensive record over the last month and have been scoring plenty of goals during that period, while FCBS have struggled to find the back of the net and when they have conceded in their last six matches, they have gone on to lose each time.
