Gil Vicente vs Riga Predictions

• Gil Vicente have lost one of their last ten competitive home matches
• Five of Gil Vicente’s last seven home matches have gone under 2.5 match goals
• A total of six goals have been scored in Riga’s last four away matches

Home form should see Gil Vicente through

Gil Vicente were mightily impressive in front of their own fans towards the back end of last season and finished the season unbeaten in nine home matches, a run which ultimately secured them a Europa Conference League qualification spot. Thursday’s hosts opened their Liga Portugal campaign with a 1-0 win at home to Pacos Ferreira, extending their unbeaten run at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos to ten matches and their proficiency on home soil should stand them in good stead on Thursday.

Shortage of goal-mouth action expected in Portugal

These two sides mustered seven shots on target between them last week and another quiet night in front of goal is expected in Portugal on Thursday. Five of Gil Vicente’s last seven competitive home matches have gone under 2.5 match goals, whilst Riga’s last four away matches have averaged 1.25 goals per game. Gil Vicente edged proceedings in the first leg and with the home crowd behind them are expected to do enough to take out Thursday’s second leg and progress into the last qualifying round.

Gil Vicente to Win and Under 2.5 Match Goals will be the main selection for Thursday’s game, with a 1-0 home win forming the Correct Score prediction.
