Boavista - Gil Vicente predictions

Beating Gil Vicente will not be easy, but we believe Boavista are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Gil Vicente would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

The hosts can count themselves fortunate to have avoided a bigger defeat in their last Primeira Liga outing. They were seen as the 5.44 underdogs to claim what would have been a rather shocking away win and a narrow Vitória Guimarães beating they took will not leave too deep a dent in their confidence.

Gil Vicente’s home performance against Arouca in the previous round wasn’t spectacular, ending in a 2:2 stalemate. Neither side managed to pull ahead, but Gil Vicente can be happier with this outcome considering the balance of power wasn’t in their favour.

After a string of 4 away defeats, it’s becoming obvious that home-field advantage is quite important to Boavista.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

Though a home win is priced at 2.50, the hosts lost their most recent game against Gil Vicente. The two teams played earlier in the season, though Boavista were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.30 with 1xbet, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
