GIL Vicente vs Rio Ave
📖 The Preview
Gil Vicente look the likeliest winners here, and the head-to-head backs that up — they've dominated this fixture historically with two wins and five draws, losing just once. Rio Ave are in decent recent nick with three wins from four, so they'll fancy themselves for a goal, and the scoring does go both ways in this one. But at home, with a 50 percent win probability against Rio Ave's 23, Gil Vicente should have enough to edge it 2-1 and bank three points.
