Moreirense have made a perfect start to the 2025-26 Primeira Liga season. Currently, they are one of six sides that have maintained a 100% record after round two. Their current position in the league standings is fifth place.
On Sunday, Os verdes e brancos defied the odds in their match against Santa Clara. At Estadio de Sao Miguel, Guilherme Schettine Guimaraes's sole strike in the first eight minutes was enough to grant his team a narrow 1-0 victory.
Head coach Vasco Botelho da Costa will be praying for another miracle result considering they face Vitoria de Guimaraes. Last season, they failed to win in any of their games (D1, L1) and are winless in their last three matches in this fixture.
Moreirense: Team News
Moreirense are still without long-term absentee Guilherme Liberato, who is out with a knee injury. That absence, though, is unlikely to be a problem, considering they've been doing just fine without the services of Liberato.
The same side that won 1-0 against Santa Clara at Estadio de Sao Miguel will remain unchanged, heading into this upcoming encounter. That means we could see the same 4-2-3-1 setup with Guilherme Schettine leading the attack.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Caio; Kiko, Marcelo, Maracas, Pinto; Ofori, Stjepanovic; Kiko Bondoso, Alanzinho, Teguia; Guilherme Schettine.
⛔️ Out: Guilherme Liberato (knee injury), Michel (inactive).
👤 Head coach: Vasco Botelho da Costa.
Vitoria de Guimaraes: Form and Statistics
Vitoria de Guimaraes, on the other hand, did not have a great start in the 2025-26 Primeira Liga season. In their opening match, they had to face FC Porto on the road, and a 3-0 defeat did not come as a surprise.
After that result, redemption was beckoning. Over the weekend, Os Conquistadores managed to redeem themselves in front of their home crowd. The fans couldn't have been prouder of their team's response as they secured a 3-2 victory against Estoril Praia.
With the odds stacked in their favor in this fixture, a trip to Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas should be straightforward. However, head coach Luis Freire won't eliminate the possibility of an upset, as their last trip to this venue saw them play to a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Vitoria de Guimaraes: Team News
Vitoria de Guimaraes has two players in the injury room, and this includes Samu and Oscar Rivas Viondi. Thiago Balieiro remains inactive for the visitors.
Head coach Luis Freire will stick with the same formation and starting lineup that secured a first league win last time out against Estoril Praia. Tiago Silva was impressive in that match, as he scored the winning goal from the spot. All eyes will be on the 32-year-old midfielder to deliver once agai
🔖 Probable Starting XI (3-4-3): Charles Silva; Maga, Nobrega, Abascal Barros; Felix, Tiago Silva, Handel, Mendes II; Santos, Oliveira, Gustavo.
⛔️ Out: Samu (injury), Oscar Rivas Viondi (injury), and Thiago Balieiro (inactive).
👤 Head coach: Luis Freire.

Moreirense vs Vitoria de Guimaraes match prediction 23 August 2025
Moreirense has made a perfect start to the 2025-26 Primeira Liga season and enters this upcoming encounter riding high on confidence. They are out to do the impossible, and that's to win their third match in a row. However, bookmakers don't have much faith in them considering their record in this fixture, but from my perspective, I see them giving the visitors a hard time.
Vitoria de Guimaraes can secure a win here, but it won't be easy. One thing that I'm certain will happen in this fixture is that they won't keep a clean sheet. Their defense has not been convincing lately, conceding five goals in two league games. I see the home team exploiting their porous defense, leading to a high-scoring affair with goals at both ends of the pitch.
