Guimaraes will be hoping to extend their winning thread on Friday evening when they welcome Maritimo in the first match of the Gameweek No 9 in the top flight of Portuguese football.

Pepa’s men have managed back-to-back away wins over Famalicao in the league and over lower-division Oliveira Hospital in the cup.

Both strikers, Marcus Edwards and Oscar Estupinan, were on target in the previous league game away at Famalicao (three weeks ago).

They should have a nice opportunity to back up such a display here on the home patch against Maritimo who have not quite been pulling up many trees of late.

The visitors were brutally outplayed by Moreirense in the previous Primeira Liga round but somehow managed to keep the rivals to a goalless draw on the occasion.

Their leaky defense, however, capitulated twice in the Portuguese Cup clash against lower-division Varzim five days ago.

Maritimo thus ended their cup campaign in the third round as they lost on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the regular time

吉马拉埃斯希望在周五晚上的葡萄牙顶级联赛第9场比赛中欢迎马里蒂莫，以此延续他们的胜利之路。

佩帕的球队已经在联赛中主场背对背击败了法马利卡奥，并在杯赛中击败了低级别的奥利维拉医院。

这两名前锋，马库斯·爱德华兹和奥斯卡·埃斯图皮南，在前一场联赛客场对阵法马利索的比赛中都有进球。

他们应该有一个很好的机会在主场迎战马里蒂莫，因为马里蒂莫在最近的比赛中表现不佳。

客队在上一轮的英超联赛中被莫里伦斯无情地击败，但在这场比赛中，他们设法将对手打成了零比零的平局。

然而，他们的防守漏洞百出，在五天前的葡萄牙杯对阵低级别的瓦齐姆的比赛中两度败下阵来。

因此，马里蒂莫队在第三轮结束了他们的杯赛，在常规时间2-2战平后，他们在点球大战中失利
