Vitoria Guimaraes vs Zurich Prediction and Betting Tips | August 15th 2024 

Vitoria Guimaraes will host Zurich at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques on Thursday in the second leg of their 2024-25 UEFA Europa Conference League third-round qualifying clash. The home side kicked off their Primeira Liga campaign with a 1-0 win over Arouca last weekend and will be looking to take confidence from that this Thursday.

They faced Floriana in the previous round of the Conference League qualifiers, picking up a narrow 1-0 win in the first leg before finishing the job in the return leg on home turf a week later with a comfortable 4-0 victory over the Maltese side.

Like their opponents, Zurich have also enjoyed a strong start to their league campaign and will be looking to carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week. They faced Shelbourne in the previous round of the qualifiers, picking up a 3-0 aggregate victory over the Irish side, with Antonio Marchesano scoring a brace in the first leg.

The visitors, however, suffered a 3-0 defeat to the Conquerors in their first-leg clash last week and now need a huge result on Thursday to keep their fading European ambitions alive.

Vitoria Guimaraes vs Zurich Prediction

Vitoria are on a brilliant five-game winning streak in competitive action after winning just one of their previous six. They have lost just one of their last four home games and will head into the midweek clash as favorites.

Zurich's latest result ended a three-game winless streak and they will be looking to kick on from that this week. However, they failed to capitalize on their home advantage last week and could exit the continental stage this Thursday.

Prediction: Vitoria Guimaraes 2-0 Zurich
