Estoril - Vitória Guimarães predictions

Beating Vitória Guimarães will not be easy, but we believe Estoril are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Details can make a big difference in matches like this one. One way for Vitória Guimarães to reach their goal in this game is to stick firmly to their game plan and execute it flawlessly.

A point earned in the previous Primeira Liga round will be a morale boost for Estoril. Namely, they fell behind after the first 45 minutes of the previous clash and were forced to work their way up against a strong opponent. Ultimately, they managed to rise to the occasion and leave the stadium with their head held high and a point in the bag (Vizela).

Last round must have been uncomfortable for Vitória Guimarães’s players. All the cards seemed to be stacked in their favour – a home-field advantage against Casa Pia who were widely considered the weaker team going in. The final result was a shocking 0:2 defeat, however, as Vitória Guimarães never managed to take control of the pitch.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The season is now in full swing, and Estoril are currently placed 14th in the standings. Such results are mediocre at best – and experts are wondering if they’re heading for the relegation zone. There are just 4 points between them and the zone and Vitória Guimarães will be a difficult clash.

Vitória Guimarães have recorded a victory against Estoril previously in this Primeira Liga season, though it wasn’t a particularly convincing one. Still, they’re the favourites despite going into an away game, and their supporters are hoping for another 3 points.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.96 odds.
