Vitoria Guimaraes to boost European hopes at Gil Vicente
Gil Vicente vs Vitória Guimarães - 16/01/2023
2890
On Monday night, Gil Vicente hosts Vitoria Guimaraes in what could be a big game in the fight for the European spots and survival in the Portuguese Primeira Liga this season.
The home team finds themselves in the perilous 16th position in the table, which is the relegation play-off spot. However, they are just a point adrift of 15th place Santa Clara, who currently occupy 17th position, while also being just two points clear of 17th place Maritimo in the fight for survival.
A 1-0 defeat at Boavista last time out in the Portuguese top-flight means that Gil Vicente has now lost seven of their previous eight games in the Primeira Liga.
To make matters worse, Gil Vicente has won just one of their previous seven home matches in the Primeira Liga. That solitary victory came in a 1-0 win over Santa Clara last time out on home soil.
The visitors are looking for a top-five finish this season and European football for the following campaign. Vitoria Guimaraes are just three points outside the league’s European spots.
However, a recent poor run of league form has hindered their top-five challenge, as Vitoria Guimaraes has won just once in their last four outings in the Primeira Liga.
A goalless draw with Rio Ave last time out means that the visitors have now failed to score in three of their previous four league outings.
Vitoria Guimaraes' bid for European football next season has been somewhat hindered by poor recent away form in the Primeira Liga, as they have now suffered defeat in four of their previous six away games in the Portuguese top-flight.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Vitoria Guimaraes will end their poor recent away record by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
