Vitoria Guimaraes vs Fiorentina Prediction & Betting Tips (19 December)

The Portuguese team is in 2nd place in this league phase with 13 points in 5 matches. She is undefeated and almost certain to play in the round of 16, although this has not yet been done mathematically. Last week, while traveling in Switzerland, Guimaraes dominated the debates against St. Gallen 1-4. This victory somewhat makes up for the parity score conceded to Kazakhstan against FC Astana 1-1. In the league, the locals are in 6th position after their draw on Monday at Rio Ave 2-2, where they were behind 2-0.

Opposite, Fiorentina lost in the final in the two previous editions and returns to the charge for a 3rd successive year in order to collect this trophy. With Chelsea, the Viola is one of the two favorites in the competition and they confirm this wonderfully by being 3rd in the league phase with 12 points, one less than Guimaraes. Last week, the Violets inflicted hell on the Austrians from LASK Linz by winning with a clear and flawless score 7-0, thus consolidating their great victory against Cagliari in the championship a few days earlier 1-0. On the other hand, Fiorentina was stopped dead in the Serie on Sunday by Bologna 1-0. The club is 4th in the Italian championship.

Guimaraes could present with a squad without injured central defender Borevkovic. Author of 2 goals in the competition and scorer on Monday in the league, Gustavo Silva will be there just like Samu and Tiago Silva who scored as much as the first mentioned in the league phase. Scorer Nelson Oliveira (3 goals, 3 assists in the league) should also respond to the call. He is looking for his first goal in C4.

 For its part, Fiorentina will a priori be forced to do without left back Biraghi, midfielder Bove who had to have a subcutaneous defibrillator installed after his recent heart attack in the middle of a match against Inter on December 1 and defender central Pongracic. On the other hand, midfielder Cataldi made his return to competition. Mandragora, Ikoné (4 goals in C4), Sottil and Icelandic international Gudmundsson found the fault during the last day which saw Fiorentina implode LASK Linz.
