Guzzo was born in São Paulo, Brazil, moving to Portugal before his tenth birthday and starting playing football with Associação Desportiva Flaviense. In 2008, the 13-year-old joined S.L. Benfica's youth system.

On 6 January 2013, still a junior, Guzzo made his professional debut with the latter's reserve team, starting in a 1–1 home draw against C.D. Santa Clara for the Segunda Liga championship. He scored his first goal in the competition the following month, contributing to a 4–1 home win over C.F. União.

On 30 August 2014, Guzzo was loaned to second level club G.D. Chaves in a season-long deal. The following 10 August, still owned by Benfica, he signed with C.D. Tondela, but the loan was terminated on 28 January 2016; his maiden appearance in the top flight with the latter took place on 14 August 2015, when he came on as a late substitute for Luís Machado in a 1–2 home loss to Sporting Clube de Portugal.
