Vizela vs Guimaraes Match Analysis and Prediction

5 years ago 970

Vizela take on Victoria Guimaraes in an important Primeira Liga action at the Estadio do FC Vizela on Sunday evening with kickoff at 18:30.

Vizela made a strong but slow start to life back in Portugal’s big time as they drew seven of their opening 11 games, winning in one while losing in three in the process. Since then Vizela have been inconsistent with the side claiming three wins and suffering five defeats in the last eight league matches.

With 19 points collected form their 19 matches Vizela now sit just three places and three points above the bottom three and are facing a possible immediate return to Primeira Liga 2.

However, they head into the match in good spirits as they are coming off a 3-2 win against Tondela at away in their previous league action with Alvaro Pacheco’s side coming from behind in two occasions before Cassiano netting his second of the day in the 87^th minute to award his side the vital three points.

Pacheco will hope his men can take confidence from the win to build consistency as they aim at climbing away from the bottom three, but they face an uphill task on Sunday and will be fascinating to see how they perform.

Meanwhile Victoria de Guimaraes are pushing for a European finish this season after missing out last term. Head coach Pepa can be satisfied with his team’s campaign thus far with the club recording seven wins, six draws and six defeats from their 19 matches to collect 27 points which have them sitting in the sixth place with just three points outside the precious European places.

However, a run of one win from their last five Primeira Liga matches has them risking their place as they sit only two points above both Estoril Praia and Portimonense who are level on 25 points and just three points above the ninth-place Maritimo.

Therefore, Pepa’s side will look to continue improving on their away form as they aim at breaking into the top-five. They will fancy their chances as they have won in four of their last five meetings against Vizela scoring 14 goals while conceding just three in the run.
