NextGOAL tip: Vitória Guimarães (level) · 3 stars
Gil Vicente and Vitória Guimarães meet often enough that they should know each other's game well, and in the last six meetings Gil Vicente have never beaten this opponent — losing four, drawing one, before winning 1-0 in the most recent match on 24 Jan. This time, though, Gil Vicente come in 7th with 14 points from 9 matches, while Vitória Guimarães sit 13th with 8 points. The two sides' situations have therefore flipped from what they used to be. Gil Vicente have started the league well: 4 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses, 8 scored, 7 conceded. But they have lost their last two matches in the league and the cup, conceding 1-4 in the most recent one. Vitória Guimarães, meanwhile, have just won 5-0 in the league on 23 Oct and are on a winning run of two matches. Their attack is starting to click, though their season overall still shows 10 scored and 10 conceded — about even. The numbers from the last 10 matches suggest Vitória Guimarães clearly dominate possession and put more shots on target (5.89 per game versus 3.9), while Gil Vicente focus on sitting deep and waiting to counter. The game is likely to flow toward the visitors, who will see more of the ball. If Vitória Guimarães score first, they will find it even easier and keep pressing. But if Gil Vicente take the lead, the game will force the visitors to open up and they could be caught by dangerous counter-attacks.
