Vitória Guimarães
- Vitória Guimarães are in a bad run, winning none, drawing two, and losing three of their last five matches.
- Vitória have been pretty hard to beat at home in all competitions this term, winning once, drawing two and losing once in four games, while conceding just twice.
CS Marítimo Funchal
- CS Marítimo Funchal have struggled away from home, winning just one of their last five competitive road games, averaging 1.00 goals per game while conceding 1.60 per game.
- CS Marítimo Funchal have had a similar spell recently, losing four, drawing one and winning none of their last five.
- Marítimo's recent results have not been much better, with a 3-1 away loss to Moreirense, a 1-1 away draw with Gil Vicente, and a 1-2 home defeat to FC Porto.
- They have two wins, two draws and six defeats in their last ten matches.
Head-to-Head
- The home side has the advantage in this matchup, having won the last two head-to-head meetings, including a 2-1 victory away in Primeira Liga 2022/2023.
- However, Marítimo have failed to win their last away game against the Conquistadores and with home advantage, this should be close.
Betting Insights
- Vitoria Guimaraes are 1.51 favorites to beat CS Maritimo Funchal in the Primeira Liga 2026-2027 on Friday and it is difficult to understand why the visitors are as long as 6.4 to win.
- Maritimo are a better bet than that but the match result markets should be avoided altogether and the side market of Under 2.5 goalsat 1.77 taken instead.
- BTTS No at 1.67 also makes some appeal in what is likely to be a close, cagey game.
- The Conquistadores have been poor all round, winning just once, drawing three and losing six in their last ten in all competitions.
- Their recent sequence of 2-1 away loss to Académico Viseu, 1-1 home draw with Moreirense and 2-0 away defeat to SL Benfica is not a good omen for this game either.
Prediction
- Maritimo are a better bet than that but the match result markets should be avoided altogether and the side market of Under 2.5 goalsat 1.77 taken instead.
- BTTS No at 1.67 also makes some appeal in what is likely to be a close, cagey game.
- Given the home advantage, Vitória should edge a tight contest, but expect a low-scoring, narrow outcome rather than an open affair.
