Gil Vicente form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Primeira Liga this season. Gil Vicente have only managed 4 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses from their games here at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Vicente, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

No payout for Vicente in their previous match, an away game at Belenenses that ended in defeat 1-2. Ahead of that match, Vicente lost 0-3 at home to Famalicao.

The defeat against Belenenses was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by Francisco Teixeira).

This is expected to be a close game, with Vicente perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Gil Vicente as a small favourite), we find seven games. Gil Vicente has won two of these, drawn three and lost two.

The manager J. Soares Ribeiro will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Maritimo in only four days.

Gil Vicente aren't scoring a lot here at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos in the league, with only 11 goals from 14 games. On the other hand, Vicente have conceded 17 goals.

Farense form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Farense, who have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Primeira Liga, so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-8 (win-draw-lose).

Farense play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Pacos de Ferreira (placed 5th). A 0-1 loss hosting Sporting CP before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Farense playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were four Farense wins, four draws and four defeats.

The attacking power of Farense when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 14 league matches away. 19 goals have been conceded by Farense in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Farense - Vicente 3-1, played this season. Head-2-head stats last two meetings: one - zero - one (Vicente wins - draws - Farense wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
