Vitoria de Guimaraes have been delivering decent displays since the beginning of this season. As a result, they have climbed into fifth position in the standings.
Meanwhile, Arouca have been also delivering decent displays since the beginning of this season. But they have been different lately, recording three winless games in the past five outings.
The past four overall wins was evenly split, with two each for both teams. Their reverse fixture meeting ended in a highly competitive 2-2 draw.
Guimaraes won three of the last five head to head clashes against Arouca at this stadium. Three of those five matches had goals under 2.5 ft.
Guimaraes have shown an impressive pick-up at home lately by sealing three consecutive victories. Their most recent match-up was against the 3rd placed Braga, which they won 2-1.
Meanwhile, Arouca have generally been weak on the road. The team is on a five-match winless streak.
Moreover, Guimaraes have a slight edge in the recent tradition of this match-up here. Thus, we expect a win for Vitoria de Guimaraes on Saturday.
Guimaraes have been recording under 2.5 goals per game consistently since the beginning of the season. The case of Arouca isn’t different too. Therefore, we don’t expect this match to have goals over 2.5 ft.
One of the main reason for expecting an under 2.5 goals affair is the attacking side of Arouca which failed to score in the past four road trips. Since Guimaraes have kept a clean sheet in three of the past six home matches, we expect this match to be one-sided affair.
The winning run of Guimaraes seems much better than the winless run of Arouca on the road. With the aid of home advantage, we expect Guimaraes to win at 1.95 odds.
While placing it as the main betting tip, we like to bet on the under 2.5 goals option at 1.65 odds considering the goal trend of both.
