Home - AVS Futebol SAD
- AVS Futebol SAD are 18th in the Primeira Liga table with 11 points from 28 matches, Vitoria Guimaraes are 9th with 35 points from 28.
- AVS have lost nine of their 14 home matches in the Primeira Liga this season.
- AVS have struggled to impose themselves in the league and have not won any of their last three in the Primeira Liga, drawing 0-0 away to Tondela and losing 0-1 at home to Santa Clara, either side of a 3-0 thrashing at Gil Vicente.
Away - Vitoria Guimaraes
- Vitoria are a very different proposition to their hosts on Saturday and are one of the more high-tempo, pressing sides in the division, who look to dominate the midfield and create lots of transitions in which they can make their verticality and pace tell.
- Guimaraes have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five in the Primeira Liga, whilst they have lost back-to-back matches on the road.
Head-to-Head
AVS Futebol SAD can claim one notable result and that came in a 0-1 away victory over Vitoria Guimaraes in the Taca de Portugal three months ago.
Key Players
Samu is the top scorer for the visitors with six goals in 23 Primeira Liga appearances, including three goals in the last five, whilst Nene is the most reliable goalscorer that AVS have, with four goals in 19 appearances and he can make the difference at some stage on Saturday.
Betting Insights
- Vitoria will feel they can take the game to the hosts and exploit their weaknesses and the odds available for the away win at 1.65 look too good to pass up.
- The hosts have scored just ten goals in 14 home league matches, so an away win and under 2.5 goals looks a likely outcome.
- Both Teams to Score - No is available at 1.85.
Prediction
AVS have not won in their last two at home, drawing once and losing once, whilst Vitoria should have enough quality to edge this one.
