Vitoria Guimaraes vs Maritimo Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of the last seven meetings between these two clubs.
• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of Vitoria Guimaraes’ and four of Maritimo’s last six matches.
• Vitoria Guimaraes have only lost one of their last five home games and Maritimo are unbeaten in their last four matches.

Vitoria Guimaraes lost 2-0 at Benfica on Tuesday night and are now unlikely to finish any higher than 7th this season, while a 0-0 draw at home to Rio Ave saw Maritimo extend their unbeaten run to four matches and reduced the gap between themselves and Guimaraes to 8pts. Our prediction for under 2.5 goals being scored on Sunday is backed up by a number of statistics.

Four of the last seven encounters between Guimaraes and Maritimo have produced under 2.5 goals, including the pairs’ last two meetings. The results of both clubs heading into this weekends’ clash point towards a high chance we will be treated to another tight and tense affair, as under 2.5 goals have been scored in four of the hosts’ and four of the visitors’ last six outings in the Primeira Liga. Under 2.5 goals have been produced in 62% of Guimaraes’ home games this season as well as in a whopping 75% of Maritimo’s away trips, so you can see just why we have backed under 2.5 goals to be scored this Sunday.

In terms of a final scoreline, we’re predicting a 1-1 draw between the pair this weekend as Guimardaes concede an average of 0.94 goals per home game and Maritimo concede an average of 1.25 goals per away game. The hosts have only won one of their last four home games and the visitors are unbeaten in their last four outings and we can see the pair cancelling each other out on Sunday.
