Vitoria Guimaraes boasts an impressive home record in the Conference League, claiming 14 wins from 18 attempts, one of which was against Zurich earlier this year.
In contrast, Zurich has struggled on the road, failing to secure points in 12 of their last 18 Conference League away matches.
Scoring has been modest in recent encounters, with all of Vitoria Guimaraes’ last 18 home games seeing fewer than 3.5 goals, including one loss to Zurich.
Similarly, in Zurich’s last 21 away matches, no more than three goals were scored each time, making it unlikely that their next meeting will be high-scoring.
Zurich’s away games have often been eventful, with the team scoring and conceding in 14 of their last 18 Conference League away games. Vitoria Guimaraes has exhibited a similar trend, with goals at both ends in each of their last seven home matches.
Prediction
With all ten of Vitoria Guimaraes’s season games featuring fewer than 3.5 goals, this pattern is expected to continue. Zurich has also been involved in 13 straight top-tier matches with no more than three goals scored, pointing towards another low-scoring encounter.
