Vitoria Guimaraes vs Pacos Ferreira Predictions

• Pacos Ferreira have only scored twenty-seven goals in twenty-nine games this season
• Three of Vitoria’s last four games have ended 1-0
• Pacos Ferreira average only 0.64 goals scored per game away from home

Europa League in sight

Vitoria Guimaraes travel to Capital do Movel Municipal Stadium with hopes of qualifying for the Europa League, as they remain seven points away from fifth-placed Gil Vicente, and with five games to go they will harbour hopes of putting themselves in complete contention.

Pacos Ferreira sit only three points behind Friday’s opponents and will be looking to compete for the higher league place, and perhaps for a spectacular finish themselves.

The form standings

Both sides are on inconsistent runs of form, each with three wins and two losses in their last five games. Pacos Ferreira, however, have five wins in their last eight games, and Vitoria Guimaraes have only three in that time.

Home advantage

With the two teams so evenly matched on recent form, the game could be decided by the home crowd. Vitoria average 1.64 points per game at home, which is higher than the league average of 1.43, and also average 1.71 goals per game, higher than the average of 1.38. The visitors meanwhile, average only 1.14 points and 0.64 goals scored when on the road, both substantially lower than the league averages.

This lack of goals away from home for Pacos Ferreira lends itself to a correct score prediction of 1-0 Vitoria and a tip of under 2.5 goals.
