Porto vs Vitoria Guimaraes Prediction 17.04.2024

• Competition: Taca de Portugal
• Date: 17.04.2024
• Kickoff: 20:15 UTC +1 / 21:15 CEST
• Venue: Estádio do Dragão (Porto)

At this moment, it is already certain that Porto is left without any chance to reach the title of Portuguese champion and that this team will finish in 3rd place, but the national cup is still at stake. In the first match of the semifinals, Porto did most of the work in Guimaraes, winning 1-0. In the meantime, they lost 2-1 against this same rival in Dragao and played 2-2 against Famalicao on home ground, which can easily be interpreted as the absence of any motivation. For this match it is much different.

Little by little, Guimaraes reached the 5th place in the table and now the number 4 position held by Braga is on the radar. This club has won 5 of their last 6 matches and they have been in excellent form for the last couple of months. There were certain ambitions in the first match against Porto, but the opponent proved to be more experienced and of better quality. Of course, you shouldn't expect a white flag, but there is a difference in quality.

Porto vs Vitoria Guimaraes pick: PORTO AH -1 WIN

Maximum seriousness should be expected from Porto in this rematch. 1-0 is not such a big capital, especially when you know that only ten days ago they lost against this team on their home field. However, it is about a trophy, the only one that Porto can take this season, and in the final they will be faced with a much stronger rival, so they should prepare in the best possible way. Before the mentioned defeat, Porto defeated this rival in 18 out of 20 matches on the home field, and some of them were quite convincing.

We expect the home team to win with a 2 or more goal difference
