Gil Vicente - Arouca predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Arouca. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Gil Vicente on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Although Gil Vicente lost their previous away game at Sporting CP , things didn’t go as badly as they could have. They were severely outmatched and playing as visitors, yet somehow managed to secure a lead before half-time. The 2:1 result was a narrow loss for them, though they walked away with their pride intact.

Arouca are here on the back of an undecided match against Casa Pia. The odds were in Arouca’s favour, though, and they were the hosts – which means that the draw result was a disappointment.

We’ve seen Gil Vicente and their attacking lineup perform admirably over their latest 3 away games by scoring more than 5 times. They’re the home team this time around – but that should merely serve to push them further.

Arouca can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. Gil Vicente played against Arouca on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

This Saturday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

A Double Chance on Away or Draw is likely the best move here. It’s definitely on the safe side with some minor risks, but these two are the most likely outcomes of the showdown this Saturday.
