Guimaraes take on the visitors Moreirense at “Estadio D. Afonso Henriques” in the gameweek 32 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played in Guimaraes on Friday, April 27th.
Guimaraes have already secured themselves a place in the Portuguese elite division for the next season and quite ending of the season in the mid-table. The club will not get higher the eighth position nor drop lower the 14th place. Thus, there is no wonder that the side’s current form doesn’t impress at all as it deserved only two victories in 10 recent fights. It looks like Guimaraes give up battling which can be proved by their latest results: 1:1 draw against humble Setubal (14th place in the table) at the home field as well as 1:2 defeat from Feirense (pre-last position in the standings) on the road. Although “Os Vimaranenses” are the home side, still Guimaraes gave many points to the clubs from the lower part of the Primeira Liga in face of their fans, in particular to: Tondela, Portimonense, Belenenses and Setubal.

In their turn, Moreirense are holding on the relegation battle and it is worth mentioning that they succeed in it as the club picked up seven points in three latest tackles, having earned two triumphs and single draw in them. However, the team cannot afford to relax as it should take a few points more to secure a place in the elite division before the last round where Moreirense will face Benfica. The team cannot boast with the convincing performance on the road, having got points just in five out 11 away encounters against the clubs from the fifth position and lower.
In general, the upcoming opponents have nearly the same football class as Guimaraes deserved only on five points more than Moreirense in 31 encounters played plus “Os Vimaranenses” scored on 11 goals more, having conceded on nine goals more instead. I believe that the forthcoming visitors are underestimated in this pair as they quite able to deserve at least a draw in the Friday clash because of the higher motivation.
Prediction for the match: Moreirense to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
