Vitoria Guimaraes hosts Boavista in round 16 of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 29th at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques (Guimarães)
Vitoria Guimaraes has not claimed high places in Portugal for a long time. In 2008, the Conquerors won bronze medals for the last time, and five years later, they managed to win the cup for the first time in history. Vitoria Guimaraes regularly played in the Europa League, and in 2013, 2017 and 2019, it managed to get into the group stage of the tournament. But in the last championship, the club finished only in 7th place. And now it is in the same position with 22 points after 15 matches. The last round ended in a 1-0 defeat to Santa Clara. But the game was played away, and home results of Vitoria Guimaraes are traditionally good.

After being punished for participating in the corruption scandal, Boavista was not able to return to its previous level. The club won two sets of silver medals and one champion’s title in the period from 1999 to 2002, but now it cannot take a place even in the European competition zone. Moreover, the Panthers have been losing ground lately. In the 2018/19 season, they took eighth place, which was a repeat of the best result after returning to the Primeira Liga. Then it was ranked 12th, and the 2020/2021 season was marked with another fall (13th line). Not everything is perfect even now, and Boavista managed to gain only one victory in all tournaments in autumn. But another rise began before Christmas. First, the underdog unexpectedly hammered Braga in the League Cup (5-1). And on December 19, the Panthers managed to beat Moreirense at home due to Hamache’s only goal.
Boavista managed to win only twice in the last 14 head-to-head matches. In the last championship, Vitoria Guimaraes scored six points in two games. Vitoria is not very good, but it usually takes its toll in Guimaraes. We think that the Conquerors will be able to beat the Panthers again.
Prediction for the match: Vitoria Guimaraes to win
