Vitoria are currently placed sixth in the table, and they are desperate to secure a top-five finish. The reason being, only teams placed fifth and above can take part in European competitions representing Portugal next season.
As of now they need a surplus of five points to climb level with the fifth-placed Gil Vicente. However, it needs to be mentioned that Gil Vicente next take on the second-placed Sporting who are in absolutely brilliant form.
This scenario needs to be taken advantage of by Guimaraes. And it helps their case that they are pitted against the struggling Santa Clara.
As things stand, expect a win for Vitoria this Sunday.
