Gil Vicente - Moreirense predictions

Though the match can honestly go either way, Gil Vicente will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 2.55 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

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.

The home team were the most likely winners of their previous Primeira Liga engagement even before kick-off, but few saw the crushing 1:3 away victory coming. After a rather mediocre first half, they completely dominated the later stages of the game.

The visiting team previously recorded a 2:2 tie with Vitória Guimarães in a recent home game. Although the game was essentially one long stalemate, things turned out alright for Moreirense. After all, they were the hard underdogs in that particular matchup despite the home-field advantage.

After recording more than 5 concessions in the previous 3 home games alone, confidence in Gil Vicente and their ability to bank on home-field advantage is shaky.

Based on their recent performance, Moreirense’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Moreirense carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Gil Vicente as somewhat more likely to win.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.57. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
