Gil Vicente vs Nacional Predictions

• Nacional have lost each of their last five league games.
• Nacional notched a consolation in each of those five defeats.
• Nacional were beaten 2-1 in each of their last four assignments.

Hosts to triumph at the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos

Gil Vicente leapfrogged Nacional after the last round of fixtures in the Primeira Liga and they can pull further clear of their struggling opponents with a victory against them on Friday evening at the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos.

Nacional are in the grip of a major crisis of confidence, and having tasted defeat in each of their last five league assignments, they look ill-equipped to stop the rot this week.

Last week, Gil Vicente capitalised on their host’s early red card to run out 4-2 winners over highflying Vitoria Guimaraes, and their impressive triumph also saw key attacker Lourency end run of 11 appearances without a goal.

Buoyed by that success, Gil Vicente are worth backing to beat a horribly out-of-form Nacional team, though combining the match result with both teams to score is worth considering.

Nacional notched consolations in each of their five straight defeats, and they could impact the scoresheet again on Friday. It’s also worth noting that they were beaten 2-1 in each of their most recent four losses, and the same scoreline appeals for a correct score prediction this week.
