Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Maritimo will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Vitoria Guimaraes when they take on Gil Vicente on Matchday 10. Maritimo failed to win the previous seven league fixtures, and, no doubt, they are desperate to get back on course. Ruben Macedo is banned for the match, while Joel Tagueu misses out with injury. Gil Vicente, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Braga.
Os Galos aim to put an end to their seven-game winless run, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Joao Afonso remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. Keep in mind that Gil Vicente managed to find the net in each of their last three away games in all competitions.
