Gil Vicente vs Moreirense – Gil Vicente was sent plummeting back to earth in the Primeira Liga last Saturday when they were defeated 2-1 by Arouca at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca.
In a game in which both teams were reduced to ten men, Brazilian forward Andre Silva scored twice in a four-minute span to put the hosts ahead before defender Lucas Cunha equalized in the 92nd minute.
Ricardo Soares’ side had gone 12 games without losing, with seven wins and five draws since falling 3-0 to Sporting Lisbon on December 18.
Gil Vicente has won 12, drawn ten, and lost six of their 28 games this season, amassing 46 points and sitting fifth in the Primeira Liga table, seven points ahead of Vitoria de Guimaraes, who are barely outside the Conference League qualification spots.
Moreirense, meanwhile, were left empty-handed once again after a 1-0 setback to Vitoria de Guimaraes on home soil the last time out.
Rochinha, a Portuguese forward, broke the tie around the hour mark at the Parque de Jogos Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, but it wasn’t enough to divide the sides and hand the visitors all three points.
Ricardo Sa Pinto’s team has now lost each of their previous four games, scoring six goals and allowing one, while failing to win any of their last seven since a 4-1 victory over Belenenses in February.
After a poor run of performances, Os verdes e brancos have dropped below Belenenses in the league standings, with just 20 points from 28 games.
Moreirense, on the other hand, will be confident of starting their climb out of the relegation zone, as they now face an opponent against whom they have gone unbeaten in each of the last nine encounters between the two teams since a 4-3 defeat in 2012.
Gil Vicente vs Moreirense – Betting Analysis
After losing their unbeaten streak against the Arouquenses, Gil Vicente will be eager to swiftly get back on track. They face a Moreirense side that has lost six of their past seven games, and we believe they will win all three points and inflict even more pain on the visitors.
