Vitoria de Guimaraes vs Fiorentina Betting Tips: BTTS / Over 2.5 Goals
A competitive and likely entertaining Conference League clash awaits this week with both teams all but certain to qualify for the round of sixteen.
Sitting second and third in the 36-team league, with 13 and 12 points respectively, both times have performed well in Europe´s third tier. Hosts Guimaraes remain unbeaten after five games played, including a 4:1 win at St Gallen last week.
Entertainment has followed the Portuguese in Europe with all five matches seeing BTTS. Four of those games also saw at least three goals scored with Rui Borges' men bagging two goals or more in four of those fixtures.
At the Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques, Vitória de Guimarães have established themselves as a formidable force, securing nine wins and suffering just one defeat in 11 home games this season.
Fiorentina arrive in Portugal after their superb eight-game winning run in Serie A was halted with a 1:0 defeat at Bologna over the weekend. Raffaele Palladino´s side have enjoyed a strong period of form with 12 wins and only two defeats recorded from their last 19 matches across all competitions.
Particularly impressive in the Conference League, La Viola romped to a 7:0 win against LASK in their most recent European contest. The Italians have scored 17 goals while winning four and losing one of five Conference League encounters.
On the road, Palladino´s men saw BTTS in their last three Conference League contests. Considering the strong home form of the Portuguese, and Fiorentina´s impressive road results, that outcome seems inevitable on Thursday.
BTTS is my first choice, while I also anticipate a minimum of three goals scored.
Vitoria de Guimaraes team news
Rui Borges has no new injury issues to deal with this week. Gustavo Silva is poised to earn a recall after netting in Sunday´s 2:2 draw at Rio Ave.
Toni Borevković is the only expected absentee for the home side.
