Vitoria Guimaraes are in pole position to claim continental qualification and hold a three-point advantage over sixth-placed Santa Clara with two games to go. Luis Freire's side have won four of their last five league games but the sole loss in this run came in a thumping 3-0 defeat to Benfica in front of their fans.
