Vitoria Guimaraes to Win

Reason for tip

Vitória Guimarães look well placed to take three points at home against a struggling Nacional. The hosts have been solid defensively, keeping five clean sheets in their last six Primeira Liga games, and they tend to raise their level against bottom-half opposition at home, averaging over two goals per game in those fixtures. Nacional arrive short on confidence, with just one win in seven league matches and no away victory in six, making a home win the standout angle.

Vitoria Guimaraes 2-1

Reason for tip

A narrow home success fits the profile. Guimarães often win without blowing teams away, with four of their six league victories coming by a single-goal margin. Nacional usually find a way to concede, having failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 league games, but head-to-head history suggests they can still nick a goal. With both teams scoring in seven of the last nine meetings, a 2-1 home win looks the most realistic correct-score outcome.

Guimarães to Make Home Advantage Count

The best bet is a Guimaraes victory when they host Nacional in the Primeira Liga on Friday.

Seventh-placed Guimaraes are seven places and six points above Nacional in the table, with six wins, four draws and six defeats from their 16 games this season, while the visitors have won four, drawn four and lost seven.

The hosts have kept things tight at the back in recent weeks, with Guimaraes keeping out their opponents in five of their last six games in the Primeira Liga.

The hosts will be confident of finding the net, with Guimaraes averaging 2.33 goals a game in their three Primeira Liga home games against bottom-half teams this season.

Guimaraes have lost just one of the last six Primeira Liga head-to-heads at home to Nacional.

Nacional’s recent results do not inspire confidence. They have only won one of their last seven Primeira Liga matches and have failed to win any of their last six away games.

The visitors have been struggling defensively, with Nacional failing to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 Primeira Liga games. They have gone four straight away games without shutting out the opposition.

Guimaraes may be able to edge out Nacional in a closely-fought encounter, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both teams have found the net in seven of the last nine Primeira Liga games between these sides and Guimaraes have won four of their six victories this season by a single goal.
