Team analysis: Vitória de Guimarães

The home side enters this second round following a defeat in their opening league match against Porto, losing 3‑0. They perform better when playing on home turf, with a record of 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses in away matches over the last 30 games, scoring 19 goals and conceding 21, as opposed to 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses at home, scoring 26 and conceding 18. In their last 10 home fixtures, Vitória de Guimarães have achieved 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. Their attack has frequently found the net, achieving this in 7 out of their last 10 games. Over 15 matches, they’ve conceded the first goal 9 times, managing only 1 comeback. Notably, in their last 20 home games across all competitions, they conceded 11 out of 25 goals in the closing minutes (76’–90′).

Luís Pinto had a challenging start in his management of the Vimaranense side. After leading Tondela to the top league and being named coach of the year in the second tier, he was appointed by Vitória de Guimarães to help them reach new heights. Unfortunately, his debut was tough, facing a formidable opposition who secured a decisive victory of 3-0. Post-match, he spoke about the learning experience, highlighting a lack of intensity and the need to disrupt opponents’ play without resorting to fouls. Intensity is crucial, and this is what is anticipated from Vitória de Guimarães as they prepare to host Estoril. Even though this is only the second round, it is vital for Luís Pinto to demonstrate that the team can be far more competitive compared to their opening match.

Team analysis: Estoril

The visitors come into the second round following a 1‑1 draw against Amadora Star in their opener. Estoril tends to maintain performance when playing away, with a record of 5 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses in their last 30 away matches; at home, their record is 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses. In their last 10 away fixtures, Estoril has managed 5 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses. Their defence has allowed goals in 8 out of their last 10 games, indicating an area for improvement, although their attack has also been productive, scoring in 8 out of the last 10 matches. Games played away tend to see plenty of goals, with 13 of their last 18 encounters ending with more than 2.5 goals. In 15 matches, they conceded the first goal 6 times and were unable to turn the match around. Of note, in their last 18 away games in all competitions, they scored 10 out of 25 goals during the final moments (76’–90′).

The Estoril side had a promising opportunity that slipped away. They were leading Amadora Star 1-0, but conceded an equaliser in the 75th minute. Although they had more possession, the Estoril attackers were less threatening compared to their opponents, who had only 34% possession. Estoril lacked the necessary focus and was left exposed defensively on several occasions. This match highlights Estoril’s need to rectify performance issues, especially if they aim to secure points at the Dom Afonso Henriques stadium.
