Command Analysis
Vitoria de Guimaraes
PortugalCurrent form
Vitoria can clearly put the interim results of their performance in the national championship down as an asset. In 14 rounds, the team has scored 22 points and is in sixth place. Considering that they also had to play in the Conference League, the result is more than worthy. In the last round of the European Cup, the "conquerors" tied with Fiorentina (1:1) and made it to the 1/8 finals from second place. In the Primeira, in the previous game, Vitoria played a draw away from home with Rio Ave (2:2).

Nacional
PortugalCurrent form
Nacional has been fighting for survival since the first rounds and is not in the relegation zone yet, although it is only ahead of it by additional indicators. The "white-blacks" have 12 points, 10 of which they have scored at home, while huge problems can be seen away. The team weak point is the attack line, as they have scored only eight goals, which is the worst indicator in the Primeira Liga. In the last round, Nacional could not do anything against Benfica (0:2).

6.20Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, in our opinion, the key moment will be the home field factor. Nacional performs poorly away from home, and has not yet won a single victory at other stadiums. Plus, in the last two face-to-face matches, the winner was the opponent who played at their stadium. And overall, Vitoria has been performing more confidently than its opponents this season.
Our prediction is a victory for Vitoria Guimaraes with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.75
Bet on total
Nacional plays very poorly away from home, especially in attack. The team has played seven away games, scoring only two goals. It is highly likely that the "white-blacks" will fail to penetrate the opponent defense once again today.
Second bet - Nacional will not score with odds of 2.04
Bet on the first half
It is impossible to ignore the fact that Nacional have drawn with their opponents in the first half in four of their previous five matches, and we cannot rule out the possibility of this happening today.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.18
