Famalicao — Vitoria Guimaraes : Match Preview and Prediction for October 26,2025

It’s quite perplexing why bookmakers rate Famalicão so highly ahead of this match. The team hasn’t distinguished itself with anything extraordinary at the start of the season. Yet, bookmakers hold a different view, suggesting that the favorite in this encounter is almost obvious.Famalicão sold several key players before the season, including Topic. In return, the squad focused on acquiring numerous inexpensive Brazilians, such as Beni and Aboubakar, who were also bought into the team. The team started the championship strongly, securing three wins in four matches. However, a complete nightmare ensued, with Famalicão going three consecutive games without a win after losing to Sporting. Their attack started faltering; while not catastrophic, failing to beat Rio Ave at home was a significant warning sign. Despite 28 shots on the opponent’s goal in that game, they couldn’t find the net.

Vitória finished slightly above Famalicão in the league last season. Interestingly, the team squandered their Europa Conference League qualification spot. In the final matches of the championship, the squad made critical errors in straightforward situations.Vitória sold Relvas, Borevkovic, Handel, and Santos. Naturally, they needed to find adequate replacements. However, Vitória has yet to integrate Ndoye effectively, and Camará plays infrequently and inconsistently. Currently, only Abascal is performing truly exceptionally. This season, the Guimarães representatives haven’t shown much consistency. Nevertheless, with three wins in eight matches, things haven’t been entirely dire recently. Moreover, in their last league game, they defeated Santa Clara, and in the domestic cup, they overcame their opponent without expending excessive energy.
