- Competition: Conference League qualification
- Date: Wednesday, 21st August 2024
- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CEST
- Venue: Estádio D. Afonso Henriques (Guimarães)
In the next two weeks, we will find every participant in the Conference League this season. Two teams that hope for a place in the competition are Vitoria Guimaraes and Zrinjski. They will meet in the first leg on Wednesday evening at Estadio Dom Alfonso Henriques.
Vitoria Guimaraes have had a fantastic start to the 2024/25 season, winning six matches in six matches in all competitions. Last weekend, they met with Estoril at the home stadium and secured a 1-0 win. The home side finished that match with an xG of 1.29, while guests had only 0.24, so, unsurprisingly, Vitoria Guimaraes prolonged their series of victories.
Last season, Zrinjski played in the group stage of any European cup for the first time in the club's history. Their dream is to repeat success in the current year, too. Zrinjski has knocked out Slovenian Bravo and Bulgarian Botev Plovdiv in the previous Conference League qualification rounds. However, in the upcoming round, they will have by far the hardest opponent this summer, Portuguese Vitoria Guimaraes. Last weekend, Zrinjski didn't have a match in the domestic league, so they will welcome a game in Guimaraes fully rested.
Vitoria Guimaraes vs Zrinjski pick: Vitoria Guimaraes to win and cover AH -1.5 spread
In the previous Conference League qualification round, Vitoria Guimaraes won 5-0 on aggregate score against Swiss Zurich, a team that is probably better than Zrinjski, so we should expect another easy win for Vitoria Guimaraes.
Vitoria Guimaraes team news
After a win against Estoril, Vitoria Guimaraes' head coach, Rui Borges, admitted that his team was focused only on the Liga Portugal game. He also mentioned the upcoming game against Zrinjski, "I'm going to look at the Bosnian team now. I was worried about Estoril. I have to look at them and see how we can be better. We're in the playoffs, and both teams want to get into the regular phase, so it's going to be very difficult. A tough opponent, as they're going to be a team that's going to give their all to get into the next phase, but this side will also be one that's willing to give their all."
