Gil Vicente vs Famalicao Predictions

• Famalicao have only lost one of their last six matches in all competitions.
• Famalicao have only lost one of their last eight matches against Gil Vicente.
• Both teams have scored in four of the duo’s last seven encounters.
• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in each of Gil Vicente’s last four matches.

Gil Vicente have dropped points in most of their home games

Gil Vicente lost away at struggling Portimonense 1-0 in midweek, leaving the newly-promoted club 9th in the Primeira Liga table. Famalicao enjoyed a blistering start to their first season in the top flight but result began to tail off at the midway point and they slipped out of the European places. However, a 2-1 win at home to Porto on Wednesday evening suggests they might just have what it takes to pinch one of the top four spots before the season comes to a close.

The hosts have only lost twice in their own backyard this season but have dropped points in eight of those 12 matches, while Famalicao have secured at least a point in eight of their 12 away trips. The visitors arrive having lost just one of their last four matches on the road and the hosts have suffered two defeats and a draw from their last three home games, so you can see why we have backed Famalicao with a double chance bet.

Famalicao are bound to be confident following the win over Porto

The visitors are unbeaten in their last three league games having picked up impressive wins against Sporting and Porto and drawing away at Belenenses. Famalicao score an average of 1.25 goals per away game, the same average goals scored by Gil Vicente at home, and both teams have scored in seven of the visitors last 12 away games as well as in seven of Gil Vicente’s 12 home matches.

Gil Vicente have drawn half of their home matches while Famalicao have drawn four of their last nine league games, and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair this Tuesday. The hosts have only failed to score in a quarter of their home matches this season and the same can be said for Famailcao on their travels, adding further weight to our prediction for a 1-1 final score.

Games between these two clubs have been closely fought in recent seasons

Famalicao haven’t lost any of their last seven matches against Tuesday’s hosts and beat Gil Vicente 2-1 in the pairs’ October reverse fixture, suggesting that a double chance bet on the visitors makes the most sense. Five of the duo’s last seven encounters have either ended all square or been settled via the odd goal and we are expecting another tight and tense ninety-minute on Tuesday.
