Vitoria Guimaraes vs Maritimo – Vitoria Guimaraes lost 3-0 away to Sporting CP last Saturday, snapping a three-game winning streak. Their task was made more difficult by left wing back Alfonso De Freitas, who was booked twice in the first half hour at Estadio Jose Alvalade.
Nonetheless, it was the match that Vitoria did not expect to get much out of. In the final game before the World Cup, they face bottom-half strugglers Maritimo at Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques in Matchday No. 13.
Maritimo are currently second from bottom in the Primeira Liga table after 12 games. With only eight goals scored this season, they have the division’s second-worst attacking record.
Vasco Seabra’s men won their first game of the season two weeks ago, defeating the rock-bottom Pacos Ferreira 0-1 on the road.
Maritimo reverted to old habits and sluggish offensive performances seven days ago, drawing a goalless draw at home against fellow bottom-half side Famalicao.
Vitoria de Guimaraes has one of the best defensive records in Portugal’s top flight. They have only allowed four goals in six home matches this season, and we don’t expect Maritimo to do much in the final third on Sunday.
