- Head-to-head: Vitória Guimarães have won the last two H2Hs including a 2-1 away victory in the Primeira Liga 2022/2023.

- Away record: CS Maritimo Funchal have not won their last away match against Vitoria Guimaraes.
Two clubs in a slump
Overview
Vitoria Guimaraes and CS Maritimo Funchal are both in poor form going into Friday's Primeira Liga 2026-2027 matchup at Estadio D. Afonso Henriques in Portugal.
Vitoria form
The home team are struggling after a run of 0 wins, 2 draws, and 3 defeats in their last 5 games. That's a 2-1 away loss to Académico Viseu, a 1-1 home draw with Moreirense and a 2-0 defeat away to SL Benfica.
The all-competitions form for Tiago Margarido's Conquistadores is even worse – 1 win, 3 draws and 6 defeats from the last 10.
Marítimo form
The verde-rubros have also had an awful start to the season. Their other results in their most recent five are a 1-1 draw away to Gil Vicente and a 1-2 loss at home to FC Porto.
Vitoria to have a bit more in reserve
So there's little to like about either of these clubs at this point, but Vitória should have a little more about them at this stage of the season and will have more of a stranglehold on the matchup as the home side.
We're going for the smartest option here, which is Under 2.5 goals at 1.77, which is what we expect in this game of tight, cagey soccer. BTTS No at 1.67 is also good, but one goal might be enough for the visitors to pinch this, given the current form of both teams.
Marítimo have scored 1.00 and conceded 1.60 goals per game on their 5 away trips in all competitions this term, so a 1-0 home win is the preferred correct score here.
- Margarido's men want to get the ball down and play with tempo and energy, and to press the opposition and press high when out of possession.
- Mitchell van der Gaag's men are more likely to sit in a block, take their time to build up play and counterpunch when they can.
