The first match after the close of the market will certainly bring news to two teams that watched the group move. In the case of Vitória, the players have been leaving throughout the month, while the arrivals, both the beavers and the conquerors, will still need a few more weeks to assert themselves. Still, time points out as a variable that it is essential to control when collective goals are in check. The Paços de Ferreira lives too close to the relegation places, needing to score to escape the ghost of the descent. For Vitória, wanting to get involved in the fight for the podium, can not waste points in a trip to a usually complicated terrain.
Paços de Ferreira took advantage of the last day of transfers to confirm the arrival of Tony Taylor, Gégé and Diego Medeiros. The last two, being in Portugal, even enter directly into the list of players called by the coach of the Pacenses, because there are many confirmed absences. The team of beavers is experiencing a particularly sensitive season, with points not reaching for a quiet season. Eight matches in different competitions, without any victory, and the last point in league games was won in a home draw against FC Porto earlier this month, followed by losses to Marítimo, Moreirense and Sporting. It’s a losing team, with organizational and trusting issues, which it expects to quickly react. Marco Baixinho fails to call due to suspension, while Ricardo, Miguel Vieira, Filipe Ferreira, Cícero, Rabiola and Ivo Rodrigues are both injured. The last of the reinforcements, Tony Taylor, still does not have the international certificate in the League.
Probable team: Defendi – Bruno Santos, Gégé, Pedro Monteiro, João Góis – Mateus, Vasco Rocha – Worm, Pedrinho, Barnes – Welthon.
Liga NOSO Guimarães’s victory was not able to win last week and so there is some pressure on this meeting, with the points appearing as a need to stay very close to the teams that compete for third place in Liga NOS. In this transfer window, Vitoria saw Soares leaving for Porto and João Pedro for LA Galaxy, two very important players in the team’s way of playing. To compensate these exits, they arrived the advanced Rafael Martins, the extreme Fábio Sturgeon and the average Celis, the latter loaned, although Pedro Martins should trust, for already, in elements of the squad that had been less used but that can now conquer the ownership By merit. In previous matches we have already seen some of these players, with Zungu, to be able to assert themselves and deserve attention. In the week before the tie with Marítimo, Vitória had won in Braga and left a very strong mark on their ability to continue to a very high level in Liga NOS. Rafael Miranda remains injured, Bruno Gaspar will be punished in this match, while Marega returned to the cradle, five days after the elimination of Mali’s African Nations Cup, with Pedro Martins announcing that he will take him to Paços.
Probable team: Douglas – João Aurélio, Pedro Henrique, Josue, Konan – Zungu, Bernard – Hernâni, Hurtado, Raphinha – Marega.
Direct meetings between Ferreira vs Guimaraes
Two games already played between both teams, always with many goals. Eight in the victory of the Vimaranenses, at home, by 5-3, in the game of the first round of the championship, four in the clash, also in Guimarães, in a two-way tie in League Cup play.
Vitória de Guimarães are favorites in a match in which they are expected from Paços de Ferreira signs of nonconformity in the face of the situation. If they can give these signals, then they can compete for points. Well they do.
