Vitoria Setubal vs Gil Vicente Predictions

• 4 of the last 7 meetings between these two clubs have ended in draws.
• Vitoria Setubal have drawn 8 of their 20 league games this season.
• Gil Vicente have drawn 8 of their 20 league games this season.
• 80% of Vitoria Setubal’s home games have produced under 2.5 goals.

Vitoria Setubal have kept clean sheets in  70% of their home games

Vitoria Setubal played out a 1-1 draw away at Moreirense in their last league game while Gil Vicente picked up an impressive point away at in-form Braga courtesy of a 2-2 draw, meaning the gap between the two clubs remains at 3pts and a winning margin of 2-goals or more would see the visitors leapfrog their hosts in the Primeira Liga table.

With four of the last seven meetings between these two clubs ending in stalemates and the hosts winning just two and the visitors winning only one of their last six matches, you can see why we have backed Friday’s match to end in a draw. Both Vitoria Setubal and Gil Vicente have played out eight stalemates each in the Primeira Liga this season, which works out at more draws than wins or defeats for both clubs.

Setubal average 1.40 points per home game while Gil Vicente average 0.60 points per away game, suggesting that the most likely result on Friday is a draw. 50% of Setubal’s home games and 30% of Gil Vicente’s away trips have ended in draws this season and only 20% of the hosts’ home matches have seen both team score.

Both teams have drawn more matches than they have won or lost this season

The hosts score an average of 0.50 goals per home game while the visitors score an average of 0.70 goals per away game, which is why we have backed a final scoreline of 0-0 for Friday’s clash. 80% of the hosts’ home games have produced under 2.5 goals as have half of Gil Vicente’s matches on the road.

Vitoria Setubal have only scored 5-goals at home this season but have kept clean sheets in 70% of their home matches while Gil Vicente have failed to score in 50% of their away games, adding further weight to our prediction for a goalless draw this Friday. The hosts have failed to score in half of their home matches and exactly 0-goals have been produced in 40% of Setubal’s home games so far this season.

We’re confident that a draw is on the cards this Friday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0 between the pair. Setubal don’t score or concede many goals at home while their guests have struggled to score on the road. The majority of the recent encounters between these two clubs have ended in stalemates and the pair have played to a very similar standard so far this season, which is why we believe another draw is on the cards this Friday.
