The visiting Moreirense played their last game only four days ago, a Primeira Liga match.
Gil Vicente form and stats
4 victories, 5 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Gil Vicente have to build on here at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos in the Primeira Liga. In general it's been a long time since Gil Vicente tasted defeat here at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, as they have taken at least one point from their last 13 home games.
The fans are hoping that Gil Vicente will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Primeira Liga game against Porto (placed 2nd). Before that, Gil Vicente played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Paços de Ferreira.
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 eight games) they have won three times, drawn four and lost one.
Gil Vicente has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. From these home matches, Gil Vicente have conceded only 6 goals.
Moreirense form and stats

The manager J. Soares Ribeiro was unhappy after their last game, a Primeira Liga match played at their home ground Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas. Moreirense suffered a 1-2 loss to Sporting Braga (placed 5th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Tondela that ended 1-1.
Moreirense are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, three draws and six defeats. From a total of twelve matches.
The attacking power of Moreirense when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Moreirense have conceded 14 goals in these games.
