Gil Vicente vs Rio Ave Prediction & Betting Tips (6 January)

Gil Vicente has never been considered a top team in the country that can afford to play Europe. We are rather on a mid-table supplement maintenance project. Riding a wave of four days without defeat for a record of 2 victories against Nacional 2-1, and Farense on the road 0-1, the locals returned to the bottom of the table 11th at the start of this day. In addition, they recorded two successive draws to date against Sporting, which is not nothing all the same 0-0 and on the Arouca meadow 1-1, excellent result there too.  Starting to languish over a sad series of three days of championship without finding the key to success, Rio Ave found a smile again by beating Nacional on the last day 2-1.

It will be recalled that he had conceded two defeats by the smallest of scores against Estrela and Santa Clara on the road 1-0. Meanwhile, the evening visitors had managed to hold off European contender Guimaraes 2-2 at home. Just ahead of its evening opponent in the rankings, Rio Ave will seek to revive and maintain its slight lead to appear in the top 10.

For this meeting, the presence of South African international Sithole is called into question due to a fairly serious injury. He is ultimately the only player who should be missing in this meeting for Gil Vicente. Author of his first goal of the season against Arouca, Gbane saved the day for his team and will be legitimate this evening, the same for the prolific Fujimoto (5 goals, 3 assists in the league), surprisingly replacing against Arouca. Félix Correia (3 goals, 3 assists) and Aguirre (3 pawns) will also be operational. Suspended against Nacional, midfielder Martim Neto will once again be eligible for his coach. It is ultimately a complete group which should make this trip with in particular, the man in form within this formation, Clayton (9 goals in 16 appearances in the championship), author of a doblete in the 2-1 success of the his team against Nacional.

He is also installed on the last step of the podium in the scorers' ranking. For the record, he is also the only one who has scored at least 2 goals in the elite within this formation...
