The Primeira Liga match between Estoril Praia vs Vitoria de Guimaraes will take place at Antonio Coimbra da Mota on Saturday at 11:30 pm IST.
Estoril Praia and Vitoria de Guimaraes will face off in round 24 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday. Both teams haven’t won in their last three matches and will aim to end this streak at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota. Vitoria de Guimaraes has won the last four games against Estoril Praia and hopes to continue this trend, aiming to get closer to qualifying for the Europa Conference League.
Estoril Praia had a disappointing 3-3 draw against Vizela last Sunday, despite a late comeback. They struggled since losing in a penalty shootout against Braga in January, winning only one point in their last nine league games. This poor form has put their three-year stay in the top flight at risk, as they are currently 13th in the league table, tied with Rio Ave, Estrela Amadora, and Portimonense in the relegation playoff spot. Their next game against Vitoria de Guimaraes will be tough, as Guimaraes has won their last four meetings. Estoril’s home form hasn’t been good either, losing four of their last five matches at their home stadium.
Vitoria de Guimaraes faced a setback in their European football aspirations with a disappointing 2-0 loss to Casa Pia last Saturday, despite dominating possession and having many shots. Before that, they had a good run, with four games unbeaten, including a win in the Taca de Portugal. However, they haven’t won in their last three league matches, only getting two points out of nine. This has affected their position in the league, as they’re now fifth, five points behind fourth place. Despite this, they hope to bounce back, especially since they’ve had success away from home, with four wins and four draws in their last 10 away games in all competitions.
Estoril Praia probable starting lineup: Figueira, Basso, Volnei, Mangala, Tavares, Fernandes, Zanocelo, Araujo, Guitane, A Marques, J Marques
Vitoria de Guimaraes probable starting lineup: Charles, Borevkovic, Fernandes, Ribeiro, Gaspar, Handel, T Silva, Santos, Mangas, A Silva, J Silva
