Gil Vicente - Santa Clara betting tips and odds

Gil Vicente may come out on top this Saturday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Santa Clara. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.60 for the hosts to win.

Santa Clara are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Gil Vicente’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Portimonense . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 4:1 defeat.

Santa Clara are coming off from a narrow home loss in their previous match against Sporting Braga. The away team secured an early lead and carried it into a 0:1 triumph. Considering the 4.75 on Santa Clara winning, though, it’s hard to be surprised.

The first step Gil Vicente need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Gil Vicente are placed 16th in the standings at the moment, with 1 point separating them from the relegation zone. It’s difficult to make any strong statements at the moment since we’re not even past the mid-season yet.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

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 2.50 if you use the bet365 sportsbook.
