Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Vitoria Guimaraes and Gil Vicente face each other at Estadio D. Afonso Henriques on day 23 of the current Primeira Liga campaign. Vitoria Guimaraes quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Ferreira, with the team moving closer to the Europa League places. The triumph gave Joao Henriques’ troops a confidence boost, but they will have to be at their sharpest in the remainder of the season as well if they are to represent Portugal in European competitions next term.
Gil Vicente, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Tondela and Porto, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the home team. Ruben returns from suspension for the visitors, but he is unlikely to help Gil Vicente avoid defeat at Estadio D. Afonso Henriques. In the first half of the season Vitoria Guimaraes defeated Gil Vicente 2-1.
