Vitoria Guimaraes vs Fiorentina Prediction and Betting Tips | December 19th 2024

Vitoria Guimaraes will entertain Fiorentina at the Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques in an exciting UEFA Conference League clash on Thursday. Both teams have recorded four wins in five games thus far. Vitoria are in second place in the standings, a point and a place above the visitors.

The hosts have been in good touch, suffering one loss in their last six games in all competitions. In their previous outing, they were held to a 2-2 draw by Rio Ave in the Primeira Liga on Monday.

The Viola saw their winning streak ended after two games last week, falling to a 1-0 away loss to Bologna in Serie A. They failed to score for the first time since September and will look to return to goalscoring ways.

Os Conquistadores have enjoyed an unbeaten record in the Conference League and recorded a 4-1 win over St. Gallen last week. The visitors won 7-0 against LASK last time around, with Riccardo Sottil scoring twice and providing an assist. Christian Kouamé picked up his third assist of the campaign in that win.

Os Conquistadores have suffered just one loss at home this season while winning 10 of their 12 games. They are unbeaten in their last 11 games in the Conference League, including qualifiers, and will look to continue that momentum here.

Nélson Oliveira was subbed off with an injury against Rio Ave and is likely to sit this one out. Gustavo Silva replaced him and scored in the second half, so is expected to start here.

The Viola have lost two of their last three away games, though they have scored and conceded three goals apiece in these games. They have scored 10 goals in their last two Conference League games, though both were played at home. They have three wins in nine away meetings against Portuguese teams.

Marin Pongracic was back in training but faces a late fitness test. Edoardo Bove is the only confirmed absentee for the visitors.

Considering the goalscoring record of the two teams in the Conference League, they are expected to play out a high-scoring draw.
