Guimaraes hosts FC Porto in round 21 of Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Sunday, February 16th at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques (Guimarães)
Guimaraes has an unsuccessful streak of three defeats in a row. The Conquerors began a black streak with relegation from the 1/2 League Cup finals (a 1:2 defeat to Porto), after which Ivo Vieira's men could not win in two rounds of the championship. Vitoria showed an excellent game only in the last round, having defeated Famalicao on the road (7-0). The visitors started well and scored two goals in the first half, after which the opponent facilitated the task of Guimaraes, having remained in the minority already in the 23rd minute. In the second half of the meeting, the Conquerors picked up the pace and sent another five goals into the net of the hosts. Teixeira (double), Edwards (double), Duarte, Rodrigues Pepe, and Davidson helped the club to win. Vitoria takes 7th place in the championship, having 28 points and a goal difference of 33:22.

Porto has accumulated a successful streak of five matches in all tournaments; the team has not been defeated since January 28. In the 20th round of Primeira Liga, the Dragons beat Benfica at their home stadium (3-2). The main events of the meeting unfolded in the first half when forward Sergio Oliveira opened the scoring, but the visitors won back soon. Sergio Conceicao’s men scored another goal from the penalty spot (Telles did that). And Benfica’s defender scored an own goal, thereby practically giving Porto a victory. The Dragons take 2nd place in the standings, having 50 points and a goal difference of 44:14. Luck was on the side of the Blue and Whites in the Portuguese Cup - the team beat Academico Viseo in the second leg of the semifinals (3-0) and advanced to the finals.
Guimaraes shows good football, but the team does not manage to cope with excitement every time, which is why the Conquerors lose many points. Porto acts just fine, and it’s not a problem for the Dragons to fight on several fronts. I think they will win in the upcoming game. Porto has already beaten Vitoria twice this season, and I think the third match will also end in the Dragons’ victory.
Prediction for the match: FC Porto to win
