Mourinho eyes the impossible in Vitória Guimarães v Benfica clash | OneFootball

José Mourinho prepares for the always challenging clash with Vitória Guimarães, seeking to achieve what few have accomplished. As is known, the D. Afonso Henriques Stadium has been a 'fortress' for the Guimarães team this season, and Benfica is looking to secure points there.

According to the newspaper Record, Luís Pinto's team, despite having a season start slightly below expectations, has had home matches as their trump card. So far, the Guimarães team has secured eight of the 11 points they have collected in the Liga Portugal Betclic.

Entering the 10th round of the championship, Vitória has played four rounds at the D. Afonso Henriques Stadium, which ended with two wins and two draws, one of them against their rival Braga. Thus, the Minho team remains unbeaten at home, which in itself will be a tough test for Benfica.

They will then try to break down an authentic fortress that, so far, has resisted the advances of opposing teams. The Vitória team is, up to now, the fifth team with the best home point tally, in a list topped by Moreirense, with 12 points, closely followed by Glorioso (11 points).

In the lead-up to the clash with the Guimarães team, The Special One is expected to use the Arouca formula to break down the castle walls. Remember that the match is scheduled for tonight, November 1st, at 20:30. The duel between the Minho and the Reds will be officiated by João Pinheiro.
