Betting tips for Guimaraes VS Benfica 18.01.2019
The Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques is once again the stage for a clash between Vitória de Guimarães and Benfica. In the clash of 15 January, counting for the Portuguese Cup, the Eagles won by the minimum margin (0-1). A goal from João Félix was enough for the incarnates to reach their goal. Now the interpreters are the same, but the game counts for the 18th round of the NOS League, and the challenge is to see if the teams can approach the game differently. Given the tight cycle that Benfica faces, winning is the watchword, and the fans will be satisfied and their team can win again by the minimum margin. There is awareness that this phase is critical, and more than ever it is important to add up the three points, regardless of whether you can play better or worse. But for the men of the home, any result that is not winning, will leave the team even more behind in the fight for a place that gives access to the European competitions. A game that is creating great expectations, to see if Benfica can repeat the triumph, and stay alive in the title fight.
Vitória de Guimarães beat Moreirense on the final day, putting an end to the two consecutive losses. The Luís Castro team had lost at Choupana and Jamor for the same result (1-0). These two results broke an excellent series of the Victorian team that had of 9 consecutive games without knowing the flavor of the defeat. Thus, the first challenge is to realize if this Vitória de Guimarães is one that came from a good series of results, or the one we have seen in the last 4 games. The victory over Moreirense was suffered, and the display before Benfica was very pale.
With 28 points, in 5th place, and 7 of a place that gives access to the European competitions, and given that the fight is with Sporting de Braga, Benfica and Sporting, this Vitória de Guimarães does not have great room for maneuver. For this reason, any outcome other than victory may dig a difficult gap to shorten, at least from a psychic point of view. Luís Castro's team has taken a "too calculating" approach, and this is evident from the results it has achieved. In the last 5 days, none of the Vitória de Guimarães games had more than 1 goal. This has been the standard, and given the difficulty that the team has had in the finals, we do not expect too many differences in approaching this challenge with Benfica.
Benfica continues its recovery, after Bruno Lage has taken over the command. There are 3 games and 3 wins, and with increasing demand. First with Rio Ave (4-2), then with Santa Clara (0-2), and now (0-1) in Guimarães. The way the new coach has bet on defensive solidity is bearing fruit. With Fesja and Gabriel more positional, but to give capacity of recovery of ball and physical robustness, and with Pizzi like a "false wing", this Benfica is more balanced, although to play in 4-4-2.
With 38 points, the Eagles continue to chase the leader FC Porto, 5 points behind. So, having already received FC Porto at Estádio da Luz, Benfica do not have much room to make a mistake, even though FC Porto, even when they can not perform well, have managed to win. The statistics of Benfica is very diverse, and with a new coach, new processes, and a new strategy, neither in the matter of goals can we find a definite trend. This will be a game to win, even if it is "half to zero" as it is sometimes used in slang, but that refers the whole focus to maximum attention, to risk in the right measure, and even manage the effort that the team is subject to in this demanding cycle that combines matches of the Portuguese Cup, League Cup and Liga NOS.
The big loss of the incarnates is Rúben Dias, but also Fejsa could fail the game, since it is in physical problems and will doubt until the hour of game. If you recover, you will naturally be the holder.
No two games are the same, so this will not be the case. However, there are ways to approach the identical games, and in my reading this game will not escape much to the standard of the game we had for the Portuguese Cup. Benfica must win, but they have 90 minutes to do it, managing their physical condition, and exposing themselves as little as possible, even more without Rúben Dias. Also the Vitória de Guimarães should not risk much, considering the well-rooted principles that the team has with Luís Castro.
