Santa Clara Preview – Can Santa Clara continue recovery?
Following a three-match losing streak in the Portuguese top flight with losses incurred against Boavista, Maritimo and Sporting CP, Friday’s hosts, Santa Clara, have since made a bit of a recovery with a 3-0 home win over Desportivo Aves which was followed by a worthy point in a 2-2 draw away from home at Rio Ave.
Santa Clara will now head into their final home match of the season against Guimaraes having picked up an encouraging four points out of the last six and with just two defeats out of their last seven matches on home turf.
The hosts have also won four of these last seven matches at home with victories gained over Pacos Ferreira, Tondela, Sporting Braga and Desportivo Aves and these wins should give Santa Clara belief that they can get something out of this clash against Guimaraes.
Vitoria Guimaraes Preview – Can Guimaraes finish off with back-to-back wins?
A 1-0 home win over Maritimo last weekend put an end to previous back-to-back defeats against Gil Vicente and Benfica, and the visitors will be hoping that they can finish off their campaign with another three points away at Santa Clara this Friday evening.
Vitoria Guimaraes currently sit in 7th place and it’s been a fairly steady and successful campaign for the visitors as they look to achieve a top half finish and may even claim 6th place if other results go their way.
However, the visitors have managed to win just three of their last nine matches overall in the Primeira Liga while picking up just one away win from their last four outings on the road which was gained in a 1-0 victory at second from bottom outfit, Portimonense, but they may find it tough going at Santa Clare here.
