For nearly two seasons, Vitória Guimarães has been a formidable force at home. They boast quality across all areas of the field, with a rock-solid defense that rarely concedes and allows minimal space for opposing attackers.

Their offense is equally impressive, averaging nearly three goals per home game over this season and the last.

In contrast, Mladá Boleslav has struggled on the road, as shown by their recent 2-1 loss to the modest Armenian side Noah. The challenge they now face against Guimarães is considerably greater.
