Gil Vicente Rio Ave betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game promises few goals, if Rio Ave can stick to their more cautious approach, because a draw will be a positive result for the away side. Gil Vicente have also proven that they can come out of their home games with their goal inviolate. For all these reasons, the double possibility of Gil Vicente conceding less than 3.5 goals seems like a worthwhile bet, as Rio Ave are unlikely to be able to surprise Gil Vicente with a defeat.

Preview
Gil Vicente and Rio Ave face at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, in a match for the 17th round of the Primeira Liga. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 24‑07‑2024, in a match for the Club Friendlies, Gil Vicente won by (2‑1). The goals of the match were scored by Zé Carlos (66' ) and Santi García (13' ), for Gil Vicente, and by Ole Pohlmann (6' ), for Rio Ave. Although this is a match between 11th and 10th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 10th best in home matches and the 17th best in away matches.

Analysis Gil Vicente

After 4 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, the home team is in the 11th position, havinf won 18 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Arouca by (1‑1), after in the previous match they have tied (0‑0) at home, against Sporting CP. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 6 points in away matches, with 7 goals scored and 19 conceded, against 12 points won at their stadium, with 11 goals scored and 6 conceded. In the last 7 home league matches Gil Vicente has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 12 points out of 21 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (3 out of 7 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 10 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Gil Vicente are once again going through a better phase. The “roosters of Barcelos” have been a very inconsistent team. Between matchday 9 and matchday 12, Gil Vicente suffered 4 consecutive defeats. However, in their last four matches they haven't suffered any defeats, recording 2 wins and 2 draws. Three of those last four games ended with fewer than 2.5 goals. This more pragmatic approach has been a “new face” for the Gilista team. Now, in the 17th round, they host Rio Ave, who have also been a more cautious team under Petit.  

Confirmed Lineup: Andrew, Josué Sa, Christian Wagatsuma Ferreira, José Carlos, Ruben Fernandes, Roman Gbane, Kanya Fujimoto, F. Cáseres, Aguirre, Felix Correia, Jordi Mboula.
Coach: I. Abreu Vieira.

Analysis Rio Ave

The away team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 19 points won, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Estrela Amadora, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Nacional, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 3 points in away matches and 16 at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 10 conceded at home, against 3 goals scored and 17 conceded in away matches. In the last 8 away league matches Rio Ave has a record of 1 win and 7 losses, so they have won 3 points out of 24 possible. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 2‑0 (3 out of 8 matches) and after the 90' 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 6 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90') and 6 of their 14 goals between (0'‑15').

The Rio Ave team has already changed coach. Luís Freire has stepped down and Petit has taken his place. However, the team's basic record hasn't changed, meaning that Rio Ave are still very much a home team. It was at home that Rio Ave managed to score in their last five games. They hosted Moreirense and won (3-2), then drew with Vitória SC (2-2), and last time out they beat Nacional. In the two away games, they lost to Santa Clara (1-0) and Estrela (1-0). This match, at Gil Vicente's ground, doesn't look to be an easy one for the team from Vilacondense. 

Confirmed Lineup: Cezary Miszta, Marios Vrushai, Aderllan Santos, Omar Richards, Francisco Petrasso, João Novais, Demir Ege Tıknaz, Martim Neto, Brandon Aguilera Zamora, Kiko Bondoso, C. Fernandes Silva.
Coach: P. Fernandes da Silva Cunha.
