Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Gil Vicente will be looking to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Santa Clara as they host Boavista at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos this weekend. Os Galos have proven tough to beat on their home turf this season, remaining undefeated, and will be eager to take advantage of Boavista's slow start. H2H record is on Gil Vicente's side, as they've triumphed in their last three home encounters against the Black and Whites at the venue.
Boavista’s struggles continue with injuries to key players Luis Pires and Joao Goncalves, which could further hinder their chances of securing a good result. Speaking of the home side, Os Galos will be without midfielder Facundo Caseres, yet they’re still poised for a strong performance. With the momentum of their home record and Boavista's recent form, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on the home side.
