The AI-powered pre-game prediction correctly foresaw a Guimaraes win, estimating their win probability at 56.4%. This reflects Guimaraes' slightly stronger team rate (0.578) compared to Santa Clara (0.436). The game was not predicted to be balanced, and the final scoreline supports this assessment.
Analyzing the recent form, Guimaraes had a mixed run, with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five games, including a heavy defeat in the UEFA Conference League. Santa Clara, on the other hand, had two wins, two draws, and one loss in their previous five matches. Considering previous head-to-head encounters, Guimaraes has historically had the upper hand against Santa Clara.
Looking ahead, Guimaraes will face Gil Vicente away on April 11th. Gil Vicente's recent form is poor with one win, three losses and one draw in the last 5 games. Guimaraes will be the slight favourite. Santa Clara faces a tough challenge against Sporting CP at home on April 12th. Sporting CP is in great form, winning all of their last five games, while Santa Clara will need to improve their attacking efficiency to stand a chance.
