Sign inVitória de Guimarães host bottom-of-the-table Casa Pia at their home ground on Saturday, 6 September 2026, in round five of the 2026-27 Primeira Liga season. The match pits a Guimarães side looking to build momentum after a mixed start against opponents who are yet to record a single point.
Casa Pia arrive in the north of Portugal in desperate need of a result. Os Gansos have suffered four straight defeats to open the campaign, conceding 11 goals while scoring only twice. The slide began with a 1-0 home loss to newly promoted Marítimo on the opening weekend, and a 2-1 reverse at Famalicão followed. Subsequent heavy defeats have left them rooted to the foot of the table with a goal difference of -11. Manager Filipe Martins is under mounting pressure to stop the rot and inject some defensive resilience into a side that has looked fragile in every outing.
Guimarães have collected three points from their first three matches, sitting 11th in the early standings. They opened with a disappointing 1-0 home loss to Arouca on 8 August, then bounced back by edging past Nacional in a gritty performance. A narrow defeat away to Sporting CP followed, rounding out a patchy start. Attacking midfielder Samu and forward A. Ndoye have been among the bright sparks, with both getting on the scoresheet already. The home side will look to exploit a Casa Pia defence that has shipped goals freely.
Samu has been Guimarães’ most creative outlet, linking play and arriving late in the box. He will face a Casa Pia defensive unit that has struggled with movement and physicality, particularly in transition. The visitors have yet to keep a clean sheet, and if Guimarães can move the ball quickly through the lines, Samu’s runs from deep could be the difference.
After this fixture, Guimarães face a challenging trip to Braga, while Casa Pia return to Lisbon to host Estoril. A positive result here could give either side a much-needed lift before the international break, but another defeat for the visitors would deepen an already alarming crisis.
