Prediction: 2-1
Gil Vicente
After suffering back-to-back losses to the likes of Portimonense and Sporting CP in the first two group games, Gil Vicente have no other choice but to go all guns blazing at Rio Ave in Saturday’s football game at Estadio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube. The Galos, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are capable of picking up all three points from the match.
The Rioavistas, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing much better displays on home soil than on the travels. Carlos Carvalhal’s charges aim to climb to the top position in Group C. Given Gil Vicente’s shaky defence; we predict that they will have a number of opportunities to score in the Estadio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube clash. In their last home game in Taca da Liga Rio Ave crushed UD Oliveirense.
