Betting tips for Guimaraes vs Braga - 18.02.2018

The derby minhoto is back to play this season, with no big impact in the classification, since Braga is well isolated in the fourth place and the Vitória de Guimarães is running outside in the European access, considering that Rio Ave seems better equipped to be ranked fifth and other teams, such as Chaves or Boavista, also nosy in front of Vimaranenses. Braga come from a heavy defeat of the Europa League and needs an effort to impose itself in a game where, beyond the context, it never suits them well.

Let's start with Vitoria de Guimarães, who lost to Boavista last week and missed the chance to isolate in sixth place, dropping to the eighth place in the table. There is also the 2018 trend of winning the home games, losing the games they face away from their audience. Although the minhoto is a match with a different environment, this week may weigh the fact that the Vimaranenses are too far away from their rival in terms of class to give the same excitement to the game. Still, this is an interesting match so Pedro Martins can measure what his players can do in this final stretch of the championship, where he keeps the idea of ​​achieving a position that allows him to dream of Europe. Out-of-home performances against Desportivo de Chaves, Sporting and Boavista show that the team can grow and evolve in other directions, giving something more than what is being "possible" at the moment. With the entry into the routine of players who only arrived in January, the team vimaranense may even be stronger. Junior Tallo is the only player in doubt for this match.


Braga, what happened in Marseille is more a lesson in humility. The team returned to feel difficulties to give the expected step of approach to teams of a higher level. Still, in the Vélodrome, there was never any question of being able to see anything that could make Braga competitive in that game. The set of Abel Ferreira has been exceeded in every way and can even be satisfied for having been defeated by only three goals. Even so, thinking about recovering on the undercard seems to be out of the question. What will count, now, is what the team can still do in the league, once again, with little chance of changing their position, but only try to improve and better image the games they have to play. In the derby minhoto, the focus will undoubtedly be on winning, even if the team has had a short recovery period after the Europa League game. Marafona, Mauro, Fransérgio and Ricardo Ferreira are both injured, while Matheus, who suffer a blow to the nose in the Marseille game, will be in doubt.
