Guimaraes vs Ventspils Prediction & Betting tips
The Portuguese team starts as a wide favorite due to the great difference in level between one campus and another. For this reason and even if you have practically qualified to the next stage of the competition after winning 0-3 the first leg, we believe that the bet “Vitoria Guimaraes will score in the first half” is interesting to bet. Remember that Latvians are not reliable in defense, standing out for suffering a lot in defensive matters when they face rivals of greater hierarchy.
Vitoria Guimaraes :
The Portuguese team did not play last weekend for its domestic league, preparing with everything to liquidate the series. It is practically already in the next stage of the Europa League, but it is never good to trust too much. Most likely, Vitoria Guimaraes play with intensity the first half, since then it could lower the revolutions and make changes that slow down the offensive potential of the team.
At the moment the team arrives very well from the mood and from the football, to accumulate many victories in a row between friendlies, previous stages of the Europa League and the Taca of Portugal.
In the previous round of the European contest, the Jeunesse Esch of Luxembourg was clearly and forcefully imposed. In the first leg he won a 0-1 visit and in the return he won 4-0 at home. This is where we stop to tell you that the Portuguese won the first half of that game 1-0, thanks to a goal converted at 14 minutes. Most likely, the headlines advance the lines and exploit the bands a lot to generate anxiety in the rival area.
Ventspils:
The Latvian team did not play any game weekend either and arrive rested to this return match. To be honest, the performance of the headlines can be classified as poor, compared to that exhibited by its rival. Anyway, he will try to do what he did in the previous two rounds of the Europa League.
The first was against the Teuta of Albania, a rival that he surpassed after winning 3-0 at home and losing 1-0 of visit. He subsequently faced Malta’s Gzira, an opponent he eliminated after winning 4-0 at home and matching 2-2 playing away from his stadium. On this occasion Ventspils is expected to step back the lines and group many men in their own field.
He will seek to do this so as not to give up a goal in the first 25 minutes of play, since if he does there are many chances that he will “eat” another win. In attack it is expected that the ball does not have much, since the Portuguese have what it takes to recover the ball soon.
The last duel that Vitoria Guimaraes and Ventspils held took place a few days ago in Latvia. That day, the Portuguese team won 0-3, after imposing 0-1 in the first half.
