On Friday night, Chaves host Vitoria Guimaraes at the Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
Both teams are just below the league’s top-six in seventh and eighth respectively. However, a win for either side would put them within a point of fifth-place Rio Ave in the top-flight table.
Chaves head into this clash in good form, as they are now unbeaten in seven games in the Primeira Liga. Last time out in the Portuguese top-flight, the home side drew 1-1 with Desportivo Aves.
The low scoring encounter was indicative of Chaves recent league outings, as five of their last six top-flight games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Chaves are unbeaten in six home games in the league. However, Luis Castro’s team have drawn four of their last five league outings on home soil. Like their recent league games in general, their recent home games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games.
Vitoria Guimaraes arrive at Chaves on the back of three straight defeats in the Primeira Liga. In their last league game, the visitors suffered a 4-2 defeat at Porto.
Recent Guimaraes games have been pretty high scoring in the Portuguese top-flight with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine league outings.
The visitors have a relatively poor away record in the Primeira Liga, as they have won just three of their last ten games on their travels in the Portuguese top-flight. Pedro Martins side have also lost their last two away games in the league.
Their recent away games in the Primeira Liga have been high scoring though, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five league games on their travels.
