Liga Portugal
These two Primeira Liga sides have met 12 times since 2020. Porto came out on top in most of these encounters as they boast an impressive ten wins. Vitória Guimarães registered just one win, while the most recent match ended in a draw. However, the visitors can take heart from the fact that they earned all four of their points at the Estádio do Dragão. An average of 3.75 goals per game were scored during this period.
FC Porto team overview
Porto have not been able to replicate their form from the 2021–22 Liga Portugal title-winning campaign. In their title defence, they finished as runners-up, but were third in each of the last two seasons.
Francesco Farioli’s men attempted a resurgence in the FIFA Club World Cup, but they only picked up two points from three group stage matches and were eliminated.
However, they produced a much better performance during pre-season, beating Twente, Famalicão and Atlético Madrid in their three games with an aggregate score of 6:1.
Away fans will be hoping this form translates into the new season, and the fact that the entire preseason squad is fit is an added bonus.

Vitoria de Guimaraes team overview
Vitória de Guimarães have never been relegated from the Portuguese top flight, a record they maintained last season.
The Conquerors finished sixth, achieving 14 wins and also suffered the fifth-fewest defeats in the division (8). Despite this, Vitoria ended the 2024–25 campaign with back-to-back defeats, losing 2–1 to Farense and 2–0 to Sporting CP.
Luís Freire's team responded with four wins in six preseason games and will be looking to build on this form on Monday night in Porto.

Prediction
Vitoria demonstrated during pre-season that they can frustrate or even beat any opponent. The visitors have lost only once in their last seven away games, but I still think that beating Porto at the Estádio do Dragão will be difficult. Porto have won each of their last three matches, and also have a strong record in matches against Vitoria. I am tipping a 2-1 win for the hosts.
Three reasons we expect Porto to win this game
- Porto won their last three games 6:1 on aggregate.
- Vitoria de Guimaraes lost all their last two league games.
- Porto have won each of their last three home league games.
