Paredes vs Vitória Guimarães II: match statistics

Paredes sit 5th, while Vitória Guimarães II are 10th, indicating that the hosts occupy the higher position ahead of this fixture. In their last five matches, Paredes have scored 6 goals and conceded just 5, whereas the visitors have netted 5 but allowed as many as 9. The hosts recorded one win during this period and averaged 1 point per game, while Vitória Guimarães II failed to win any of their five matches, averaging 0.6 points. Paredes’ recent form includes two draws, so a stalemate remains a realistic outcome; however, their clearly more solid defense and home advantage favor the hosts. Their goal difference from the last five outings is 5 goals better than Vitória Guimarães II’s, making a narrow Paredes victory the most likely result.

The BTTS signal is moderately positive, as Vitória Guimarães II saw both teams score in 80% of their last 5 matches, compared with 40% in Paredes’ games. Both sides produced identically high average xG figures over this period, at 1.79 each, indicating a regular ability to create goal-scoring chances. Paredes averaged 1.2 goals scored, while Vitória’s reserves conceded as many as 1.8 goals per match, making a home goal particularly likely. The visitors scored an average of 1.0 goal, while Paredes conceded 1.0, so their goal also has a solid basis, although the visitors’ lower attacking efficiency prevents this pick from being rated as very strong. This supports BTTS - Yes / Goal-Goal, while BTTS - No would mean that at least one team fails to score, not automatically a 0:0 result or a match in which neither side scores.

The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals, as Paredes’ last five matches averaged 2.2 total goals per game, while Vitória Guimarães II’s matches averaged as many as 2.8. The hosts scored 6 goals and conceded 5 during this period, whereas the visitors scored 5 but allowed 9 goals, strengthening the case for at least two goals. Both teams have identical creative output, averaging 1.79 xG per match over their last five appearances, while Vitória concede an average of 1.8 goals. The 2.5 line is more evenly balanced, as only 40% of each team’s last five matches went over three goals; therefore, Over 1.5 offers the safer edge.

The strongest scenario is Paredes leading at the break and winning the match, as the hosts have averaged 0.8 goals scored and only 0.4 conceded before half-time in their last five matches. Vitória Guimarães II have scored just 0.4 goals per game in the first half, while allowing opponents an average of 1.4, giving Paredes a clear advantage early in the match. The hosts kept a clean sheet at half-time in 60% of these matches, whereas the visitors did so in none of them and were behind after 45 minutes in 60% of cases. The second half could be more even, with Vitória scoring 0.6 goals per game compared with Paredes’ 0.4, but the visitors have failed to win any of their last five matches, while Paredes have recorded at least one victory. A draw at half-time followed by a home win remains a significant alternative, but Paredes’ defensive edge and the visitors’ poor starts primarily support the 1/1 HT/FT option.
