Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Gil Vicente and Chaves face each other at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in the closing match of Primeira Liga round 27. Os Galos aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Chaves. Both Alipour and Kritsyuk missed a goalless draw with Sporting through injuries, and the duo remains in the recovery room. Gabriel Pereira is pushing for a start.
Os Valentes, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Braga, but seeing that Gil Vicente have been producing fine displays at home of late, we are tempted to put our money on Daniel Sousa’s troops. In the first half of the season Chaves defeated Gil Vicente 3-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Barcelos.
