Vitoria Guimaraes finished sixth in the league last season, narrowly missing out on a place in the Europa League. They aim to secure European football this season. After 16 rounds, they have 22 points with a record of six wins, four draws, and six losses, just one point behind Braga in sixth place. Every league point is crucial for their European ambitions. At home this season, Vitoria Guimaraes have won three, drawn three, and lost two of their eight league matches, scoring 10 goals and conceding 7, with a 75% points-won rate. They often dominate matches at home, especially against teams fighting relegation. However, they've recently struggled at home, drawing 0-0 with Rio Ave and losing 1-2 to Porto in their last two home games, which has affected team morale. Nacional da Madeira has long been a team in the mid-to-lower part of the Primeira Liga, with a limited squad and significant relegation pressure this season. They have shown strong away defensive resilience, drawing against Braga and Vitoria Guimaraes. Offensively, they heavily rely on their key forward, Ramirez. The team's offensive core is absent, so they must depend on their defense. Their away defensive resilience will be critical against Vitoria Guimaraes' attack. The manager favors a defensive counter-attacking style, and the tactical adjustments during the match will be crucial. Match prediction: Nacional da Madeira +0.5
