At the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos, Gil Vicente and Portimonense will face off in the 12th round of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Friday. This game has all the makings of a thrilling contest because both teams, who are having a rough time in the league right now, will try to get back on track this weekend. Gil Vicente came into the 2022-23 season with a lot of promise after finishing fifth in the Primeira Liga last year and qualifying for Europe.
But after 11 games, the Gilistas are level on points with Santa Clara, which is 16th, in the relegation playoff zone, and seven points behind the top half of the standings. The fact that Gil Vicente has scored just nine goals this season, which ranks them joint-fourth in the league, has been a major source of concern for manager Ivo Vieira. They have also struggled to make use of their advantage at home this season, going winless in six of their eight home games in all competitions, drawing two and losing four, including a 1-0 defeat to Braga on Sunday.
Prediction
After struggling for form in recent weeks, Gil Vicente and Portimonense head into the weekend in need of a morale-boosting result. We expect Sergio’s team to perform just enough to take home a portion of the spoils, despite the Gilistas’ solid home record against Portimonense.
