Betting on Gil Vicente
Gil Vicente has been having mixed results in their last few games, but they are, at least, on a four-game unbeaten streak, with two wins and two draws. In last week’s match, they surprisingly defeated Porto by 1-2; thus, they achieved their seventh win in 22 matches.
They cannot fight for the title, but they are not in danger of relegation either, which gives them peace of mind at the moment. They will be playing their 12th home game. Although they have only three wins as locals, two of them have come in the last five games. They have scored at least one goal in each of those games during that period, and holds a four-games unbeaten streak at home games.
Possible Lineup (4-4-3): Andrew; Zé Carlos, Tomás Araújo, Rúben Fernandes, Adrián Marín; Kanya Fujimoto, Giorgi Aburjania, Pedro Tiba; Murilo Souza, Fran Navarro, Juan Manuel.
Betting on Marítimo
Marítimo pulled off a surprising performance on matchday 22 with a 3-1 win over Santa Clara, another team fighting to get out relegation zone. Prior to that victory, Maritimo had suffered four consecutive defeats in the Primeira Liga.
Four of their last five clashes have completed the Over (2.5), in all of which both teams have scored. It is also worth mentioning that they hardly get clean sheets, since in each of the last five games, they allowed their opponents to score goals, regardless of the final score.
Maritimo is considered the worst away team so far this season, with only one win, two draws and eight defeats in 11 matches. Their defense has been weak playing on enemy grounds, as they have conceded the most goals on the road with a total of 27, averaging 2.45 goals per game.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Marcelo Carné; Cláudio Winck, Zainadine Júnior, Rene Santos, Vitor Costa; Stefano Beltrame, Val; Geny Catamo, Bruno Xadas, André Vidigal; Pablo Moreno.
JefeBet Prediction
Marítimo has a seven-match winless streak in all competitions on the road, since their last win was in October, when they beat Paços Ferreira by 1-0. That is the only undefeated shutout he has recorded on the road since the start of the 2022-23 season, so they are not expected to get one in this match.
Gil Vicente’s is likely to end up winning the match, but both sides could also score, just like they have done in their last three clashes.
Prediction: Gil Vicente wins by 2-1
