FC Porto vs Gil Vicente - 28/01/2020
2821
On Tuesday night, Porto will attempt to cut the gap at the top of the Primeira Liga, as they host midtable Gil Vicente at the Estadio Do Dragao.
Porto slipped further behind league leaders and reigning champions Benfica in the last round of games, suffering a 2-1 home reverse against Sporting Braga. The defeat leaves Sergio Conceicao’s team ten points behind the leaders.
This is the home sides game in hand and they need to record a victory if they are to even have a remote chance of catching the table-toppers this season.
The aforementioned defeat against Braga ended a good run of form for Porto in the Portuguese top-flight, as they had won 12 of their previous 14 matches in the Primeira Liga while remaining unbeaten.
The loss also ended a 12-game winning run on home soil for Porto in the Primeira Liga. The match also saw their run of seven straight clean sheets on home soil in the league come to an end. Despite the defeat, Conceicao’s team have still scored at least twice in eight of their last ten league matches on home soil.
Gil Vicente are in the no-mans-land of ninth-place in the Primeira Liga table. The visitors are eight points clear of the relegation zone and seven points outside the European places.
The visitors recent league form has been inconsistent. They are four games unbeaten in the Portuguese top-flight but have won just once in their last five, as three of their last four league matches have finished all square. Last time out Vitor Oliveira’s team drew 0-0 with Pacos de Ferreira.
Gil Vicente’s recent away form in the Primeira Liga has been poor, as the visitors have won just once in their last ten away matches.
Forebet predicts that Porto will record a comfortable win in a high-scoring encounter to cut the gap on leaders Benfica to seven points.
