Boavista to record a victory at Gil Vicente
Gil Vicente vs Boavista FC - 12/05/2023
2552
On Friday night, Gil Vicente hosts Boavista at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos between two teams looking to finish as high up the Primeira Liga table as possible.
The home team heads into this game on the back of a terrible recent run of league form. In fact, Daniel Sousa’s team is winless in their last eight matches in the Portuguese top flight, including six defeats.
A 3-2 defeat at Santa Clara last time out means that Gil Vicente has suffered four straight losses in the Portuguese top flight.
Despite their recent woeful league form, Gil Vicente are still eight points clear of the relegation play-off spot. With just three rounds of league games remaining, it seems unlikely that 16th-place Maritimo will bridge the gap to the home team.
Gil Vicente has won just one of their previous six home matches in the Primeira Liga. However, a 2-0 defeat by Benfica in their last home league game ended a seven-game unbeaten home run.
The visitors would have considered themselves genuine top-five contenders this season. However, with games running out, Boavista are unlikely to make up the eight points on fifth-place Arouca, who have also played fewer games.
Boavista’s recent league form has been slightly mixed, although they have won three of their last five league matches and suffered just one defeat in the run.
Petit’s team have been woeful travellers of late in the Portuguese top flight, as they have recorded one away win in their previous 12 matches on their travels, having conceded nine defeats.
Their recent away games in the Primeira Liga have at least offered goals, with six of their previous eight league matches producing over 2.5 goals.
