Boavista vs Vitoria Guimaraes Prediction and Betting Tips | March 9th 2025
Vitoria Guimaraes return to action in the Portuguese Primeira Liga when they visit the Estadio do Bessa to face Boavista on Sunday. Luis Freire’s men have failed to win their last seven games on the road since mid-December and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Boavista finally gave their fans something to cheer for as they secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Santa Clara at the Estadio do Bessa last Sunday.
This was a much-needed result for Lito Vidigal’s side, who had lost each of their previous eight outings and were on a 13-game winless run in the league since November 9.
Boavista have picked up just 15 points from their 24 Primeira Liga matches so far to sit rock-bottom in the league standings, eight points behind 15th-placed Estrela Amadora in safety.
Elsewhere, Vitoria Guimaraes turned in a resilient team display in midweek as they fought back from going behind twice to salvage a 2-2 draw against La Liga side Real Betis in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League last-16 clash.
Freire’s men now turn their focus to the Primeira Liga, where they are unbeaten in their last five games, claiming two wins and three draws since the start of February.
With 35 points from 24 matches, Vitoria Guimaraes are currently seventh in the league standings, level on points with eighth-placed Estoril Praia.
