Gil Vicente vs Chaves Prediction & Betting Tips (11 March)

Winning games has come easily to Gil Vicente on their own patch of late, as they have triumphed 18 times in their most recent 21 matches at the top table of the Liga Portugal. Chaves, on the other hand, have found the going extremely tough on their travels in the last few months, suffering six defeats in eight fixtures in the Liga Portugal.

Under 2.5 goals has been the order of the day in ten of the last 14 Gil Vicente home games in the Liga Portugal, as well as in each of their previous seven Liga Portugal contests overall. Chaves have kept things similarly tight recently, with 12 of their last 14 matches at this level delivering no more than a couple of goals, so anyone expecting a thriller is set to be severely disappointed.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from five of the previous six Gil Vicente home games in the Liga Portugal, so thrillers have been few and far between at the home Stadium. As for Chaves, just four of their most recent 17 away matches at this level have produced goals at both ends, which doesn’t offer much hope.
