Command Analysis

At the start of the season, Benfica had several poor performances in the Primeira Liga, which allowed its rivals to pull ahead.

At the same time, the hosts of the upcoming match have played one and two matches less, respectively.

Vitoria Guimarães plays with varying success. In 12 rounds played, the club has six wins, three draws and the same number of defeats. The team does not play its best away from home.
