The recent run of matches has not been very good for Portuguese giants Benfica and they will hope for a better outing when hosting Vitoria Guimaraes in their next game. Benfica are fourth in the standings, with 33 points while Guimaraes are two places lower, with 29 points. The hosts have managed just one win, and one clean sheet in their last five matches, but have scored in four of the five. They lost 1-0 to Sporting ion the last match and were earlier eliminated from the League Cup by Braga. Benfica have lost their superiority among the top sides in Portugal. In the last five matches, they have played Porto, Braga and Sporting, and have won none. Their only win in the league in the last five matches came against Tondela and they head to this game with no win in three league games. Benfica have also failed to score more than one goal in four of their last five league matches. They are however unbeaten in the last four league matches at home. In their last 20 matches against Guimaraes, Benfica have no loss.

Guimaraes have three straight wins and are unbeaten in four. Perhaps this is the moment to end the bad run against Benfica, but they haven’t done well against the top sides this season. They lost to Benfica on post match penalties in the League Cup and in the league, they’ve already lost to Braga and Sporting. In terms of attack, Guimaraes have been consistent lately, scoring in each of the last seven and failing in just one of 10 matches. Four of their last six league matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they are unbeaten in eight away league matches. Guimaraes have scored at least two goals in four of their last five away league matches. Striker Eduardo Estupinan has scored three in the last five matches and will be a man to watch here.
