Vitoria de Guimaraes welcome Benfica at Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques, Guimaraes on Sunday, Mar 7 at 6:00 PM in a Primeira Liga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Vitoria de Guimaraes come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Benfica, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Vitoria de Guimaraes a slight edge, but Benfica are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
