Vitoria SC Guimaraes vs Hajduk Split Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League

Prediction published on 08/08/2022, 13:03  by Daniel Ngulu in Conference League Predictions

Croatian side Hadjuk Split have the upper hand as far as advancing in the Europa Conference League is concerned, heading into their return leg clash against Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes. From the first leg of the third qualifying round, the Croats lead 3-1, and Guimaraes have a tough task trying to overturn this. The hoists warmed up for the game with a 1-0 away win at Chaves in the Portuguese league. The last time they played a Conference League game at home, they beat Puskas 3-0 and here they will need another of such a performance. However, this is going to be a tougher game and the fact that they’ve failed to score more than a goal in four of their last five matches means they must improve in their attacking numbers. They do have three clean sheets in the last four matches so that should be a good starting point. Guimaraes are also unbeaten in their last five home matches, winning four.

It has been a good run for Hadjuk Split in the past few games and three straight wins is a run they will want to extend. It is more than that; they’ve scored two or more goals in each of these three games, and have only failed to score once in the five matches. They have three clean sheets in the last four matches and this is one stat they will be out to keep. If they can achieve that then they are through to the playoffs. They’ve done it in the last three away matches, keeping clean sheets and winning the last two. This will be tougher than their last three matches but they’ve scored two or more goals in four of their last five away matches.
