Vitoria Guimaraes will be looking to put their house in order after being humbled by Estoril Praia in match day two action in the Portuguese Primeira Liga but they have an uphill task when they welcome Sporting in the Saturday 19th August clash. Guimaraes were emphatic winners the last time these two sides met, beating Sporting 3 – 0 in a friendly match, but competitively, it’s been three years since Sporting last lost to their hosts. Guimaraes head to this clash with a patchy run of form, having won twice and lost thrice in their last five matches. Playing at home, they have three wins and two losses in their last five matches within which they have scored eight goals and conceded six. They have lost just twice in the last 11 home matches. Sporting on the other hand are on a four – match unbeaten streak, having managed a draw, three straight wins and a loss in their last five outings. What they will need to check will be the away form they take to this game, having won two and lost three of the last five, and scoring nine while conceding the same number of goals in the process. Sporting have lost three of their last 10 away matches. They last beat Guimaraes in 2015, while each of the last three league meetings between the two sides ended in draws. Head to head, the two sides have met 46 times and Guimaraes have managed six wins while Sporting have bagged 28 wins.
