Benfica's title chances are fading away, and anything other than a win here would hand the crown to Porto on a silver platter.

What has been Benfica and Vitoria Guimaraes' form ahead of this game?

Benfica makes it to this match after winning only one of their last four games. The team Nelson Verissimo inherited from Bruno Lage has struggled ever since they returned to action after the coronavirus pause, winning only two of their seven matches sinche the league resumed. Their last game ended in a one-all draw against Famalicao, and in the event of a loss or a draw here, they would see arch rivals Porto claiming the title.

Vitoria Guimaraes has also struggled since the restart of the league, as they have won two out of their seven games. Added to that, Ivo Vieira's men have drawn three and lost two more. The team's last game ended in a heart-breaking 2-1 loss, which left them four points behind Rio Ave in their quest to play European competitions next season.
