Guimaraes vs Rio Ave
Guimaraes are heading into this match in pretty poor form, having lost three of their last five games. They did manage a couple of wins, but those were narrow 1-0 scorelines. Rio Ave, on the other hand, look a bit more steady. They've only lost once in their last five, picking up a draw in three of those and a big win where they scored four goals. That suggests they are in decent shape and not easy to beat.
Looking at the history between these two, their recent meetings have been very tight and low-scoring. The last four games have all finished with less than three goals, and three of those ended 1-0 or 2-0. Given Guimaraes's struggles and Rio Ave's resilience, this feels like a match that will be very close and hard to call. A draw is the most likely outcome here.
