Gil Vicente - Sporting CP predictions

Gil Vicente are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 8.00, no punter will dare backing them up against Sporting CP. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

Taking a 1.36 bet on an away game can often be risky but when it comes to Sporting CP ahead of their trip to Gil Vicente, this match can be a great addition to your betting slip.

Gil Vicente are coming off from a surprising away victory in the Primeira Liga. They haven’t exactly been made the favourites to record a triumph at 2.77 betting odds but have nevertheless shown great resolve after a tied first half. One goal made all the difference in the second half as Gil Vicente reached an important Farense victory.

Sporting CP had little to prove the last time they played at home against Boavista, and they secured a 3:2 victory through a one-goal lead in the second half. Still, more was expected from them in such a favourable matchup, and their opponents in round 15 might be a harder nut to crack.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Gil Vicente may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Scoring more than 5 times over their past 3 home games, Sporting CP have been playing with remarkable consistency lately. Although they’re the visitors this time, it’s an impressive record.

The recent history of clashes between these two teams paints a fairly clear picture. Although the most recent records are from the previous season, Sporting CP defeated Gil Vicente multiple times, even managing to pull ahead by at least 2 goals in each instance.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.50, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
