Vitoria Guimaraes vs Moreirense Prediction & Betting Tips (30 January)

9th in the championship with 25 points, Guimaraes can slightly see the silhouette of 4th place, occupied by Braga with 8 points behind. Bad results have been coming one after another in recent times for Vitoria, beaten twice during the previous two days of the championship against the irresistible Porto team 0-1 and on the Estoril pitch 4-2. A little more generally, Guimaraes has only won one of his last five matches in Liga Portugal, which explains his fall in the standings. However, let us note the incredible epic in the League Cup for the local team, victorious in the competition by beating Porto in the quarter-final 1-3, Sporting in the semi-final 1-2 and Braga in the final 2-1. Benfica was missing from the field and the national top 4 would have gone to Vitoria.

This is the first time that the local team has won this trophy, and above all a first trophy since 2013. Moreirense has not won the League Cup and will not win the Portuguese Cup either, having been out of the competition since the 1/32 finals, but finds itself well and truly in 6th place in the ranking with a slight outlay of 3 points over Braga 4th. Moreirense players have won 3 of their last 4 league matches without conceding a single goal. Facing the very poorly ranked AFS 0-2, Tondela 1-0 and on the previous day against Santa Clara at home 1-0. 

Good news in Guimaraes as three players will return from suspension. In this case the Cape Verdean international Arcanjo, the Angolan international Beni (midfield) and the striker Nelson Oliveira (3 goals in the league this season). We will still note the absence due to injury of the precious Oscar Viondi. Author of 3 goals in the Coupe de la Ligue, Alioune Ndoye is much less successful in the championship with only 2 goals. Important in the League Cup epic, Samu (2 goals, 2 assists) also scores too little in the league (2 goals, 1 assist). Author of 3 goals in the league, French striker Oumar Camara (18 years old) will be present today.

On loan from Porto, Vasco Sousa is currently injured and will not play today. This is the only major absence to report at Moreirense who can no longer rely on Guilherme Schettine (9 goals in the league) who left to play in China. He is still, by far, the best fireworks player in this formation and will, without a doubt, leave a big void. Behind, Travassos and Maracas (3 goals each in the league) as well as Alanzinho (2 goals, 5 assists) will try to show themselves. 

• Summary: Vitória SC is going head to head with Moreirense starting on 30 Jan 2026 at 20:45 UTC at Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques stadium, Guimaraes city, Portugal. The match is a part of the Liga Portugal Betclic .
