Vitória Guimarães Penafiel betting prediction

The away team comes to this stage of the Taça de Portugal (Round of 16) after a home win by (3‑2) after extended time against Vitória FC. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 7 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the Segunda Liga, they got a home win against Vilaverdense by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Penafiel has won 1, tied 3 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 2.

Penafiel enters this match motivated after a home victory, 2-1, against Vilaverdense, with goals from Gabriel Barbosa and Adílio Santos. It's worth noting that the visiting club is in an interesting moment, having secured two wins in their last three performances. One characteristic of this team is their difficulty in converting scoring opportunities. Playing away from home, Penafiel is expected to face some challenges, visiting an opponent with significantly more quality. The visiting team is likely to operate in a 5-3-2 formation, with Gabriel Barbosa and Robinho as the two most advanced players. Coach Hélder Cristóvão should be highly motivated to have all players at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Manuel Baldé, Leandro Teixeira, Rúben Pereira, Rúben Freitas, João Miguel , Diogo Batista, Reko, Adílio, Hugo Firmino, Chico Teixeira, Robinho.
Coach: P. Braço Forte Russiano.
