Gil Vicente - Boavista predictions

With 2.32 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing Gil Vicente who should end up victorious in the end against Boavista.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Gil Vicente on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Gil Vicente’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Arouca . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 3:0 defeat.

The away team are coming on the back of a surprise draw in their recent home game. Their opponents Vitória Guimarães took an early lead, and most Primeira Liga betting predictions assumed they would turn it into an away win. However, Boavista equalised before the end and snatched an unexpected point.

With 7 concessions over the last 3 matches, Gil Vicente will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Boavista’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Gil Vicente won this matchup decisively last season, securing a solid goal difference. They’re also understandably favourites to win this match, as showcased by the 2.32 home win betting odds.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.85 if you use the William Hill sportsbook.
