Desportivo Aves vs Gil Vicente Predictions

Aves lost 1-0 away at Porto last time out and have now suffered defeats in each of their last nine matches in all competitions, while Gil Vicente won 2-0 at home against Maritimo and sit four places and seven points ahead of their Friday night hosts.

All of the stats point towards Friday night’s match being a low-scoring affair and we have backed the two sides to play out a 1-1 draw at the Estádio Clube Desportivo das Aves.

Under 2.5 goals were produced in three of the last five meetings between these two clubs and Gil Vicente haven’t lost any of their last nine matches against Aves. Three of the pairs’ last four meetings have ended in stalemates, so you can begin to see why we’ve backed a 1-1 draw between the pair this Friday.

The performances of both teams heading into Friday’s clash only add weight to our prediction for a low-scoring game between the pair, as under 2.5 goals were produced in three of Aves’ and four of Gil Vicente’s last five matches. However, both teams scored in three of Aves’ and three of Gil Vicente’s last six matches, which is why we have backed a 1-1 draw between the pair.

The form of the two clubs during the last month or so suggests that the visitors are likely to pick up at least a point from Friday’s match as Aves haven’t won any of their last six matches, but Gil Vicente have only won two of their last six games which is why we have gone with a draw.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Friday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Aves are in dire form and can’t seem to buy a win at this moment in time, while their guests have only won two of their last six matches. However, Gil Vicente haven’t lost any of their last nine matches against Aves and head into the game as the form favourites, which is why we believe the visitors will take home a point on Friday night.
