Academico Viseu vs Guimaraes: Winless Viseu Seek Turnaround
Published
Academico Viseu and Guimaraes clash in Round 6 of the 2026 Primeira Liga on Saturday, September 12. With both teams enduring difficult starts to the domestic campaign, this encounter represents a crucial opportunity to kickstart their respective seasons and climb away from the relegation zone.
Academico Viseu Form Guide
The hosts enter Round 6 still searching for their first Primeira Liga victory of the 2026 campaign. Academico Viseu currently sit near the foot of the table with just two points from their opening four matches, having recorded two draws and two defeats. Their defensive frailties have been exposed early, conceding eight times while managing to score four goals in a sequence of results that reads LDLD.
Guimaraes Early Season Struggles
Guimaraes arrive with their own early-season concerns, sitting 12th with a modest return of three points from their first four outings. Following a recent difficult preparation period leading into their clash with Casa Pia, their wider form guide of one win and three defeats highlights a lack of consistency. Goals have been particularly hard to come by for the visitors, who have found the net just three times while conceding five. They will view this weekend's fixture against a similarly struggling opponent as a prime opportunity to correct their trajectory.
Academico Viseu Team News and Injury Latest
The home side is expected to deploy a 4-3-3 formation. Ewerton looks set to retain his place in goal, shielded by a defensive line likely featuring Nikolaos Michelis, Anthony Correia, Robinho, and Rúben Pereira. In midfield, Cihan Kahraman and Alejandro Mestanza will be tasked with controlling the tempo, while André Clóvis and Lorougnon Gohi aim to improve the team's modest goal tally up front. However, the squad remains hampered by injuries, with Miguel Ángel Brau and Paulinho both sidelined for this clash.
Decisive action is required from both managers to turn their autumn schedules around. Securing three points here could be the catalyst needed to pull clear of the early relegation battle before the Primeira Liga table begins to take permanent shape.
