Guimaraes' 2025/2026 Primeira Liga Campaign
Guimaraes wrapped up their 2025/2026 Primeira Liga season in ninth place, collecting 42 points from 34 matches. Their record featured 12 wins, 6 draws, and 16 losses, with a goal tally of 39 scored against 51 conceded, resulting in a goal difference of -12. At home, they showed more resilience, notching 8 wins and scoring 26 goals, while on the road, victories were harder to come by with just 4 wins and 13 goals scored.
Defensively, Guimaraes kept 10 clean sheets across the campaign, evenly split between home and away fixtures. However, their 51 goals conceded underscore defensive frailties, particularly away, where 32 goals were leaked. The season’s ebb and flow saw moments of promise tempered by inconsistency, reflecting their mid-table finish.
Looking ahead, Guimaraes will be keen to build on this foundation, aiming for greater stability and sharper attacking output to climb higher in the league standings.

Guimaraes' 2025/2026 Season Form
Guimaraes have had a somewhat inconsistent campaign in the Primeira Liga, finishing 9th with 42 points from 34 matches. Their record of 12 wins, 6 draws, and 16 losses reveals a side that dropped points more often through defeats than stalemates, suggesting that resilience might not be their strongest suit.
Their biggest win streak is not recorded, which hints at a season lacking any significant run of consecutive victories. Home form was notably better, with two-thirds of their wins coming at home (8) compared to just 4 on the road. They also conceded more goals away (32) than at home (19), emphasising a vulnerability when playing away from their own turf.
Overall, Guimaraes' 2025/2026 campaign has been patchy, with defensive frailties and an inability to string wins together limiting their progress. At least they can boast a respectable number of clean sheets split evenly between home and away, providing a small beacon of hope for next term.

Guimaraes Home and Away Performance
Guimaraes have shown a marked contrast between their home and away form in the 2025/2026 Primeira Liga. At home, they have been relatively solid, winning eight matches and scoring 26 goals, while conceding 19. They have kept five clean sheets on their own turf, suggesting a degree of defensive resilience.
Away from home, however, things have been tougher. With only four wins and 13 goals scored on the road, Guimaraes have struggled to find the net, while conceding 32 goals in their travels. Despite this defensive frailty, they have matched their home clean sheet tally with five shutouts away, which is a curious but welcome statistic.
Overall, Guimaraes appear more confident and effective in attack at home, but their defence remains a concern, especially away from the familiar surroundings.
Fipster's Record on Guimaraes
Fipster’s crystal ball has had just one proper go at predicting Guimaraes’s fortunes in the 2025/2026 campaign, and it missed the mark on that occasion. A modest start, you might say, indicating the model is still finding its feet with this club. No stars or ticks yet, but with time and more data, perhaps Fipster will sharpen its insight into Guimaraes’s unpredictable Primeira Liga escapades.
