Vitoria Guimaraes vs Santa Clara Preview

Santa Clara caused a lot of upsets against top-tier teams when playing on the road this season, holding Porto to a draw and beating Sporting Lisbon in late 2024. Vitoria Guimaraes are in good form, but I think they will have to settle for a draw here.

After a 1-1 road draw against Porto FC in late February, they earned three consecutive victories in March against Casa Pia 1-0, Boavista 2-1 and Estrela 2-0, Umaro Embalo scoring two goals in these encounters.

Last weekend, Vitoria Guimaraes extended their unbeaten run with a 2-2 draw at Moreirense where Telmo Aranjo scored a brace. They were ahead all until the 77th minute.

They had a rough start last month, suffering a 1-0 defeat against last-placed Boavista, but then improved in a 1-1 home draw against Moreirense and a 1-0 road win at Gil Vicente.

Vasco Matos’ side wrapped up March with another victory, this time against Nacional 1-0 at home where the only goal was scored by Joao Costa three minutes in.

Winger Gustavo Silva is the only concern for the home team, recovering from a muscle injury.

As for the visitors, they will be without striker Wendel Silva (ankle injury) and defender Pedro Pacheco (knee injury).

Verdict

Guimaraes v Santa Clara

Almost half of Vitoria’s Primeira Liga games have ended without a winner this season, while Santa Clara rarely lose on the road in 2025. I am predicting a draw in Portugal.
