Gil Vicente - Nacional betting tips and odds

Though Gil Vicente are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.00 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

No-one expected Gil Vicente’s incredible performance in the previous round – least of all their opponents. Despite overwhelming odds and a home-field disadvantage, Gil Vicente took the lead in the first half and turned it into a decisive 2:4 away victory against Vitória Guimarães .

Nacional are coming on the back of a narrow 1:2 home defeat to Marítimo. They were ahead at half-time, which was a bit of a surprise considering the 2.63 most online bookmakers gave on a home win.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos this Friday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Nacional’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Gil Vicente’s 13th spot in the standings is not about to impress anyone, but they’ve managed to steer clear of the relegation zone for now. They’re still a good chunk of the season to go through, however, and they’re heading into a relatively difficult matchup.

Though Nacional are not in the relegation zone quite yet, they may be on the way there. With half the season behind us, they are still struggling to end it on a high note.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Nacional once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.10 odds offered at 10Bet.
