My tip: Porto vs Guimaraes
In spite of the betting odds, it will not be an easy match for the host team, Guimaraes being a good team of the championship that has participated in the Europa League Groups this season.
Surely, the absences from both teams will influence the quality of the game, Guimaraes being more affected than Porto, having several important absences, so I will not bet on a goal bet.
Porto won the first half and eventually won 6 of the eight games played on his own train in the championship, with Aboubakar being the first ever white-blue player to score for Porto.
