Gil Vicente vs Porto Prediction: Can Porto come back after the hit

Porto opened the season with a convincing victory in the Super Cup, and convincingly began the defense of the throne with triumphs over Maritimo and Vizela, at Dragao they also beat Sporting, one of the three competitors in the race for the title, and with a huge dose of self-confidence, last week they went to the north of Portugal to face Rio Ave. The visiting team received a slap as no one has slapped him for a long time. Rio Ave humiliated the state champion in front of his fans, scored three goals at halftime and inflicted one of the heaviest defeats in recent years – 3:1 (3:0).

The home team doesn’t have a great start of the season, and they blamed the international matches in the Conference league for that. Now the team is out of the Conference league and can focus on the domestic championship. After 4 matches played Gil Vicente has 5 points and is in 12th place at the moment. Maybe in this match, Gil Vicente can show against the champion of the league that they can as last season and this finish in the top half of the table.

After the knockdown in the next round, Porto is again away from home, this time against Gil Vicente. As the main candidates for the title in Porto, everyone knows that these matches must be won, especially now when the Champions League is back and they will play every 3 days.

Porto is already behind Benfica and now the pressure to succeed is growing. But if we take into consideration experience, the squad, and tradition between these teams, it’s obvious that Porto is clear favorite here and as they need to gain momentum before the Champions league match, goals are expected as well.
