Gil Vicente
LLLWLL
Gil Vicente won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 4-1 Primeira Liga loss in their previous game against Portimonense.
In that game, Gil Vicente managed 59% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Gil Vicente was Samuel Lino (26'). Portimonense had 11 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Maurício Antônio (1'), Jafar Salmani (33'), Aylton (72') and Beto (85') scored for Portimonense.
It has been all too rare in recent games where Gil Vicente have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Gilistas have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 11 goals during that time. Historical results aside, it remains to be seen if such a trend shall be maintained in this upcoming game or not.
Their prior results show that Gil Vicente:
- haven't lost in the league to Santa Clara in their previous 2 matches.
- have not won against Santa Clara in their previous 5 league games.
- haven’t won at home in the past 5 league games. Fans are getting restless.
