Sporting CP have been in patchy form recently, with two draws and a loss in their last five matches, but they are still a strong side. When these two teams meet, the games are often open and full of goals. In their last five meetings, the match has seen five or more goals three times, including a 5-1 win for Sporting and a 4-4 draw. So, even though Sporting have not been at their best lately, their recent history against Guimaraes suggests they should have the edge in what could be another high-scoring affair.

Guimaraes are also struggling for consistency, having lost three of their last five games. They did manage a couple of narrow 1-0 wins away from home, but at home they have been beaten in recent matches. Given Sporting's superior quality and the fact that past clashes have been so open, Sporting CP look likely to come out on top here.
