Betting suggestion:

Despite not being in their best form, Gil Vicente remain a competitive side and are favourites to beat Rio Ave at home. The Vila do Conde outfit have been inconsistent recently, returning to their usual defensive frailties. Therefore, this match has good potential for two or more goals, with the advantage leaning towards the home team.

Preview
Gil Vicente and Rio Ave meet at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, in a match for the 15th round of the Primeira Liga. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 1 win and 3 draws in the last 4 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 06‑01‑2025, in a match for the Primeira Liga, they tied (1‑1). The goals of the match were scored by Félix Correia (38' ), for Gil Vicente, and by Brandon Aguilera (59' ), for Rio Ave. The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Gil Vicente presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis Gil Vicente

The home team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 25 points won, after 7 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Vitória SC, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Casa Pia, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 5 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses at their stadium, with 10 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 6 home league matches Gil Vicente has a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 18 possible. The most recurrent final score in their home league matches was the 2‑0 (3 out of 6 matches). Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 16 of their last 19 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. In the last 19 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 17 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Gil Vicente currently sit in 5th place but are going through a dip in form. They have gone four consecutive games without a win, which is unusual for César Peixoto’s side. Their home defeat to Tondela highlighted this decline in results for the Barcelos-based team. In the last round, they drew 1–1 away at Casa Pia, losing 4th place to Sporting Braga, and now hold just a two-point advantage over Famalicão. Consequently, Gil Vicente will need to do everything possible to secure all three points, or risk dropping another position.

Confirmed Lineup: Andrew da Silva Ventura, Antonio Espigares Morillas, Marvin Adolphe Fabrice Elimbi Gilbert, Hevertton Ciriaco Santos, José Carlos Teixeira Lopes dos Reis Gonçalves, Santiago García González, Luís André Leite Esteves, Facundo Agustín Cáseres, Murilo de Souza Costa, Gustavo Miguel Pereira de Sousa Varela, Joelson Fernandes.
Coach: I. Abreu Vieira.

Analysis Rio Ave

The away team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 3 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against AVS, by (1‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Vitória SC, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 7 away league matches Rio Ave has a record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 10 points out of 21 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 5 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 14 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Rio Ave remain a very inconsistent side and have yet to reach the level expected, given the quality of their squad and coaching staff. After their 2–1 away win at AFS, more was expected from Rio Ave in their home clash against Vitória SC, but they were unable to avoid a 1–0 defeat. With 16 points, just six above the relegation zone, the Vila do Conde outfit need to pick up points—at least one—on this tricky trip to Gil Vicente.

Confirmed Lineup: Cezary Miszta, Andreas Ntoi, Francisco Petrasso, Jakub Brabec, João Tomé, Nikolaos Athanasiou, Jonathan Panzo, Ole Pohlmann, Brandon Aguilera, André Luiz, Clayton.
Coach: P. Fernandes da Silva Cunha.
