Primeira Liga Portugal
Game Prediction
Arouca and Gil Vicente will play in the 16th round of the Portuguese Primeira on December 27, 2024. The hosts of the arena are fighting for survival and will try to get maximum points in their home “lair” in the battle against the mid-table team.
Our prediction for the match Arouca vs Gil Vicente
“The Arouquenses” spent a good, by their standards, last season. Having taken 46 points, they finished at the top of the table, in 17th place. “The Roosters” were then 10 points behind. However, they did not get to a serious fight for survival (the relegated opponent, Portimonense, took 32 points): they finished in a safe 12th position.
Now the club from Arouca placed the bets on Gonzalo Garcia. Still, that one is not impressive: the team fails to get even a point per round on average (although recently the outsider surprised with a victory over Santa Clara, which became only the third success in this championship). Then Casa Pia won the game against this rival – 3-1. Bruno Pinheiro’s footballers look more cheerful, especially in the last rounds, when they successively beat Nacional and Farense, rising to the middle of the table. And they had held on a 0-0 draw in the struggle with Sporting before the break.
The hosts are very weak. Scoring a little more than half a goal per round, they concede 1.73 goals in response. The guests are clearly more lively, but their goal ratio is also noticeably negative – 1.2/1.7.
