"Starting with the hosts, watching their Taca de Portugal adventure come to a shock end last week as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at home against AFS, Vitoria are desperately seeking an immediate response here. Suffering a first defeat across any competition since returning from November's international break, Luis Pinto's side will be more than aware that they have another monumental challenge on their hands in midweek."
"Vitoria Guimaraes Team News Not featuring since back in September and still dealing with a recent muscle issue, Vitoria Guimaraes will once again miss out here. However, aside from the former Nacional striker, Pinto's men have reported a clean bill of health and have no fresh injury concerns. Bagging a third Primeira Liga strike of the season away at Rio Ave last week and now registering five direct goal contributions in his previous seven appearances across all competitions, 18-year-old Oumar Camara should play a leading role in the final third."
Sporting Lisbon travel to Guimaraes aiming to move within touching distance of the Primeira Liga summit. Vitoria Guimaraes suffered a shock 1-0 Taca de Portugal defeat to AFS, marking their first loss since the November international break. Guimaraes have won only three of their last eight home matches and have managed just one victory in their previous 13 meetings with Sporting, including a 2-0 loss on May 17. Vitoria will again be without the former Nacional striker due to a muscle issue but report no other fresh injuries. Eighteen-year-old Oumar Camara has three league goals and five direct goal contributions in seven appearances and is expected to lead the final third. Sporting advanced with a 3-2 cup win at Santa Clara and seek to make a statement in midweek.
