Team analysis: Vitória de Guimarães
After 12 wins, 12 draws, and 6 losses, the home team occupies 5th place, having accumulated 48 points. In their last match, they suffered a defeat against Benfica at home (0‑3), following an away victory at Gil Vicente (0‑1). This team tends to perform better at home, with a record of 8 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses at their stadium, compared to 3 wins, 7 draws, and 5 losses as visitors in their last 30 games. Over the last 10 home matches in the league, Vitória de Guimarães has registered 5 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss, earning 19 out of a possible 30 points. They have been consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in 7 of their last 10 league matches. In 30 games this season, they managed to come back after conceding the first goal just once out of the 14 occasions it happened. A notable trend in their last 15 home league games is that 7 of the 17 goals conceded occurred between the 76th and 90th minutes.
With a current position of 5th, Vitória SC has reached a challenging spot, as the 4th position is now out of reach, sitting 14 points behind FC Porto, with only 12 points remaining in the competition. This situation was precursored by their recent defeat to Benfica, where performance expectations were dashed. Nevertheless, it is crucial for them to bounce back and prove that this loss was just a blip, not indicative of a trend, as they approach this pivotal stage of the season.
