Gil Vicente take on Rio Ave looking to build on solid home form and given Os Rioavistas' shaky defence, our prediction points toward a 2-0 home win. The hosts will be without defenders Jonathan Buatu and Ghislain Konan (both away on international duty), but they are capable of filling the gap. Os Galoes boast a 75% home win rate and have kept clean sheets in three of their last four home games. They average 1.50 goals per game at home and have failed to score just once in that span.
Rio Ave have been having their ups and downs of late, winning two of their last five matches, but they must cope without forward Marios Vrousai, a key attacking option. The visitors score 1.33 goals per away game on average and see both teams score in 83% of their away fixtures. Rio Ave have struggled defensively, conceding 1.17 goals per away match and keeping only 17% of clean sheets on the road.
Given Gil Vicente's fine home record and defensive solidity, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside, Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals as both sides have low-scoring tendencies overall.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 18:00.
