FC Porto Preview
The local team was on an 11-match unbeaten streak, but the loss in the Champions League to Inter Milan was a difficult blow. Even so, they are doing well in the league and cannot let the defeat affect them because they are still chasing Benfica, which is 5 points ahead of them.
They didn’t look bad against the Neroazzurri, holding the scoreboard in Italy until the 86th minute, when Lukaku scored the goal that sealed the victory for the Italians. It is time to forget that defeat and remember that streak of six consecutive league victories that have them in second place in the overall standings.
However, in the last two games of the local tournament, they have struggled a bit. First, a 1-2 defeat against Sporting Lisbon, in a match they started winning and extended the lead in the 94th minute, but in the 97th minute they conceded the 1-2.
The next match was against Rio Ave, and they won by a score of 1-0. They scored in the first half and were unable to extend the lead, despite having the ball for most of the match and generating 14 shots on goal. The local team is not performing well lately, but Gil Vicente is the perfect opponent to get even.
Possible Lineup (4-3-1-2): Diogo Costa, Joao Mario, Pepe, Ivan Marcano, Wendell, André Franco, Marko Grujic, Pepe, Stephen Eustaquio, Mehdi Taremi, Toni Martinez
Betting on Gil Vicente F.C.
It has not been an easy season for Gil Vicente, but it has not lost in the last three games and that short streak of positive results has the team out of the relegation zone. Daniel Sousa has managed to motivate the team.
Of this three-game unbeaten streak, there have been two draws and one win. Gil Vicente is not a team that counts on an outstanding offensive power and this is reflected for in its last two draws that ended up by a score of 1-1 and the win against Famalicao was also by a 1-0 score.
On average, they register around 15 shots per game, but only 10% of them are on target, which is why they score few goals. Defensively they have improved, considering that before these three games they had an average of 2 conceded per game.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Andrew; Carraça, Tomás Araujo, Rubén Fernandes, Adrián Marín; Matheus Bueno, Giorgi Aburjania; Murilo Souza, Kanya Fujimoto, Juan Manuel Boselli; Fran Navarro.
JefeBet Prediction
Gil Vicente has an important loss for this match, as one of its pillars in the midfield, Vitor Carvalho, was sent off last game and that weakens the team for this game. However, Porto’s mental health is not so good after their defeat in the Champions League, but they will still win the game against a Gil Vicente team that will feel the loss of their goalkeeper.
Besides, the Dragons have only lost once at home and that was against Benfica, and they are strong at Do Dragao.
Prediction: Porto 1-0 Gil Vicente
