Vitoria Guimaraes vs Celje Prediction & Betting Tips (2 October)

This Guimaraes team completed an impeccable qualifying phase with six victories in six matches over the three rounds played. In the last round of the play-off, Viktoria literally defiled Zrinjski's Bosnians, winning 3-0 in the first leg and 0-4 in the return. Finally, we can even add that out of all the matches played in all competitions, Guimaraes has only lost one, in the league against the promoted AVS 1-0. To stay with the championship, there were four successes over the first five days, including two successive victories against Famalicao 2-1 and Braga 0-2.

 Celje almost did not participate in this competition by conceding a defeat in the first leg against the Armenians of Pyunik 1-0 but in the return match, the Slovenes made coffee at home with a 4-1 score. Furthermore, in the wake of their qualification, the evening visitors went three days of the championship without the slightest defeat with a draw on the Koper meadow 0-0 and two successes against Nafta 3-1 and in the shock against Maribor 2-1. Before this first day, Celje will have played twice in the Slovenian elite against Domzale and Bravo to follow and a 1/32 national cup final against Dravinga to follow. 

Only one major absence to report at Viktoria, defender Fernandes. Author of 4 goals and 2 assists during the Conference League qualifiers, Mangas strangely took over the management of Spartak Moscow at the end of the transfer window. Striker Nelson Oliveira (1 goal, 2 assists in the league) will be present barring a last-minute injury. Same case for Cesar (1 goal, 1 assist), and rookie Ramiez Diaz (1 goal, 1 cake).

 Right winger Kvesic (2 goals, 3 assists in the league last season) will most likely be missing due to suspension (red card in the second leg of the final play-off). The important Zabukovnik has been injured for many weeks now and will probably be OUT for this trip in the same way as the Slovenian international hopeful Ajhmajer (absent since the start of the season). In the middle, the Frenchman Lhernault (3 appearances in the league) will probably be on the scoresheet like the Lithuanian international Kucys (3 goals in the league) and the crack Seslar (2 goals, 1 assist in the elite).
