Preview: Vitoria de Guimaraes vs. Real Betis - prediction, team news, lineups
Mar 12, 2025
Vitoria de Guimaraes and Real Betis will recommence battle at the Estadio D. Afonso Henriques in the second leg of their Conference League last-16 clash.
The tie is finely poised ahead of Thursday's clash after Vitoria came from behind on two occasions to hold Betis to a draw in last week's meeting in Spain.
Match preview
Vitoria enjoyed a successful league phase campaign, winning four and drawing two of their six matches to finish in second place and secure an automatic spot in the last 16.
They maintained their unbeaten European record with a battling display in Andalusia last week, with Joao Mendes and Nelson Oliveira cancelling out goals from Cedric Bakambu and Isco respectively to return to Portugal with a 2-2 draw.
Luis Freire's side were forced to come from behind again in Sunday's Primeira Liga clash against basement side Boavista, sealing a 2-1 victory thanks to an Ilija Vukotic and a Tiago Silva penalty.
As a result of that win, Vitoria have now gone seven competitive matches without a win since losing to Estoril 1-0 at the end of January.
After going on their travels for their last two matches, Vitoria will now return to Estadio D. Afonso Henriques, where they have won seven and drawn six of their 13 home games in all competitions since losing 3-0 to Porto in September.
