Efficiency has been the key for Guimaraes for much of this season, as they have scored just 15 goals in 17 matches but have an impressive 24 points to show for it. After losing Bruno Duarte and 15-goal Oscar Estupinan in the summer, they have evidently prioritised defensive solidity instead of looking to replace their two top scorers. Nelson Luz and Anderson Silva are their current top scorers this season, but they have just three goals each, so narrow wins and draws have been on the agenda often for Moreno’s side.
Home form has also been a strong point, as 17 of their 24 points have come here at the Estadio D. Afonso Henriques this season. However, since the World Cup, they have been on an awful run of form. They have taken one point and scored only once in their four league encounters since the return of top-flight Portuguese football, and they were also knocked out of the Taca de Portugal by Braga earlier this month.
In addition to this, they were also unable to win any of their three League Cup group fixtures, despite being drawn against second tier sides Belenenses and Vilafranquense. It leaves their chances of European qualification looking very slim, as the league route is now their only option, and they are losing ground in the table every week as sides below them also catch up.

Vitória SC vs Chaves Prediction
We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 1-1 Chaves
It would not be too much of a surprise if Chaves record a fourth consecutive 1-1 draw in this one given how close the sides are in the table and in similar ropey form.
Guimaraes have won the last three head-to-heads though, and will hope that can give them the edge.
