Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Following a heavy 4-0 loss to Guimaraes, Gil Vicente will look to get back on course in Primeira Liga when they face Nacional on Matchday 13. Os Galos are on a four-game losing run in the Portuguese top flight, but Saturday’s game could be the point for the home team. Santiago Gonzalez is back from suspension, while Sphephelo Sithole continues to miss out with a ligament problem.
Nacional, on the other hand, are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but given their anything but good away record in the 2024/2025 season, the share of spoils is on the cards at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Barcelos. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the previous six meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
