The final stage of the Portuguese Cup is underway with the top 8 teams vying for this prestigious trophy.

Vitoria Guimaraes is experiencing one of their best seasons in approximately two decades, currently holding the 5th position in the Portuguese league. They are just one point behind Braga and could potentially compete for a spot in one of the European tournaments by season’s end. They also have a shot at the cup, although the top Portuguese football teams could be their potential semi-finals and finals competitors.

In the last round of the Portugal League, Gil Vicente suffered an effortless defeat on the road in Lisbon to Benfica with a score of 3-0. However, such games should not be used as a true measure of this team’s potential. Currently, Gil Vicente stands at 10th place in the championship. Their qualification to the quarterfinals of the Cup marks a notable achievement.

Vitoria Guimaraes vs Gil Vicente pick: VITORIA GUIMARAES TO WIN

Guimaraes is known for their excellent tactical gameplay at home, particularly during elimination matches. Their victory against Penafiel 1-0 in the previous round of the Cup serves as a prime example. This outstanding form isn’t limited to the Cup; they’ve won their last 4 league matches at home as well. Conversely, Gil Vicente struggles in away games and has lost their last 3 matches in Guimares. Given these factors, we anticipate at least a narrow victory for Guimares, securing their place in the semi-finals where they’ll likely face Porto.
