Boavista welcome the visitors Vitoria de Guimaraes in the Portuguese Taca de Portugal – 1/8 Finals. The match will be held on Wednesday, December 19th, at the Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI (Porto).
Boavista are failing this season; they have hoisted themselves from the relegation zone, but they are about to be back there again. The team feature 13 points after 13 rounds, they registered just 3 wins, 4 draws, and 6 defeats! Boavista do not think of the Cup fixtures much, their main task is to stay in the league. Their key difference from other outsiders is that they score a lot and miss a few, their record is 10 goals made and 15 goals allowed. In the Cup rounds, they’ve passed the little known Fatima, 4:1, and Espinho, 4:0. Vitoria de Guimaraes are much stronger, a smashout win over them will be a challenge. The visitors will look to win in the coming clash.

Vitoria de Guimaraes continue their fight for the European zone tiers, but the fight does not look very promising given their 7-point breakaway from Benfica. Therefore, the guests need to succeed in the Cup matches to advance to the European competitions from this tournament. Guimaraes outclass their Wednesday opponent, but they play away, so both sides have similar chances to win. The guests suffered no losses long ago, in their away matches they settled 4 wins and no defeats. Their class speaks for itself, and they need to pass this round.
Guimaraes feature no defeats in 10 consecutive matches, which favors their win over the hosts. Boavista’s main concern is to play consistently in the last rounds of the league and retain their place there. They are hardly concerned about the Cup match, as to us. The latest opponents’ head-to-heads’ record also favors Guimaraes – they won 3 matches of 5. Interestingly, the teams have already met in the Cup fixture in 2016, Vitoria advanced to the next stage that time (in the overtime though, the normal time saw the 1:1 draw). Our hopes are with the guests tomorrow.
Prediction for the match: Vitoria de Guimaraes to win with 0.0 handicap.
