Vitoria Guimaraes has a strong record at home in the Conference League, having secured 14 wins out of 18 matches, including a victory over Zurich earlier this year. On the other hand, Zurich has had considerable difficulties in their away games, failing to earn points in 12 out of their last 18 Conference League trips.
In terms of scoring, fewer than 3.5 goals have been scored in all 18 recent home games of Vitoria Guimaraes, including a loss to Zurich. Similarly, Zurich’s last 21 away games have consistently seen no more than three goals scored. Given this history, it would be unexpected to see a high-scoring game when these teams meet again.
Zurich’s away matches have been notably lively, with the team both scoring and conceding in 14 of their last 18 away games in the Conference League. Vitoria Guimaraes has shown a similar pattern in their home games, with both teams scoring in each of the last seven matches.
This season, all ten of Vitoria Guimaraes’s games have ended with fewer than 3.5 goals, suggesting that this trend is likely to continue. Zurich has also been involved in 13 consecutive top-flight games with three or fewer goals scored. Therefore, another low-scoring game is anticipated when they clash.
