With their 3 point advantage in the league table, Gil Vicente fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Belenenses.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Gil Vicente form and stats
Gil Vicente have collected 14 points from their Primeira Liga home games so far after 3-5-0. The Gil Vicente fans aren't used to losing here at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos and will expect new points from this game. Gil Vicente has played twelve games in a row here without a defeat.
The home team returns to Estadio Cidade de Barcelos after being equal after 90 minutes with Tondela (placed 9th) on their last time out; the Primeira Liga game ended 1-1. In the game before, an away victory in the League Cup match versus Rio Ave with a 1-0 scoreline.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gil Vicente have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won 4 times, drawn 4 and lost 1.
Gil Vicente has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. From these home matches, Gil Vicente have conceded only 6 goals.
Belenenses form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Belenenses so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Primeira Liga home defeat versus Sporting Braga with 1-7 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Moreirense wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Belenenses lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-7 beating and focus on this one. Belenenses goalkeeper Hervé Koffi had a great day against Sporting Braga, but despite making 6 saves the loss could not be avoided.
We have checked recent matches where Belenenses have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were W3-D7-L0.
The attacking power of Belenenses when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Belenenses have conceded 13 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
