Vitória Guimarães - Marítimo team news and expert analysis
The Guimarães-based club finished sixth last season, narrowly missing out on a place in the European competition spots. This campaign, however, began with a couple of defeats, and although they later beat Nacional at home, they have mostly managed only draws on their own turf since then. They also lost to Benfica, 0-2. In the cup, they at least secured a win, albeit by the narrowest margin, 1-0.
The Madeira-based team spent three seasons in the second tier, winning it in the spring. But life at the higher level has proved extremely difficult. They have already picked up some victories, though, which has allowed them to stay above the relegation zone. They also put up a fight against Porto but lost 1-2. In the cup, they only just managed to win, 2-1.
The home side are currently scoring 0.63 goals per match, while also conceding relatively few, at 1.25. The islanders play slightly more open football: they score 1.13 goals per round but concede 1.75.
