Vitoria Guimaraes - FC Porto Prediction, Picks and Tips

Os Vimaranenses are in a good moment despite their elimination in the Taca da Liga and Taca de Portugal. Thus, those led by Joao Henriques came from winning 0-4 in his visit to Santa Clara, in a game where the experienced winger Ricardo Quaresma scored his first goal with his new team and thus led Vitória Guimaraes to add his third consecutive victory in the Primeira Liga. These results place them in the fifth box, placed in the classification zone for European competition, but beware that a victory here and would equal FC Oporto in third place, so here they know that they have to be strong in defense and beware that Guimaraes with their seven goals conceded, they have the best defensive record in the Primeira Liga. The problem for Joao Henriques is the eight absences for the game this Tuesday, since to the absences of Lyle Foster and Easah Suliman, they are added those of Alhassan Wakaso, Matheus Mascarenhas, Joseph Amoah, Yann Aurel Bisseck, Mikel Agu and Silvio, and then he has a strong headache to put together the stellar eleven. Possible alignment: Varela; Mensah, Mumin, Fernandes, Sacko; Andre, Pepelu, Almeida; Rochinha, Estupinan, Quaresma.

For their part, those led by Sergio Conceicao are fully motivated with their recent 2-0 win against Benfica in the definition of the Portuguese Super Cup. This result puts the Dragons on a twelve game losing streak where they won eleven of them. But now, FC Oporto knows that it has to focus on its participation in the Primeira Liga, a tournament where it started somewhat slow, but in recent weeks they have been rebounding to the point that with their last four consecutive victories they are in third place, with two points less than the second Benfica and four points less than the leader Sporting Lisboa, so this Tuesday they aspire to make all their power prevail in the offensive, which has led them to add 25 goals to date. As for their performance as a visitor, the Dragons have won in their last four games where the best that has been in the defensive block having not conceded any goal, and they want to be that way against a Vitória Guimaraes whom they have beaten in their last three direct games. Possible lineup: Marchesin; Manafa, Mbemba, Pepe, Sanusi; Corona, Oliveira, Uribe, Otavio; Taremi, Marega.
