Gil Vicente vs Porto Prediction
Gilistas began their campaign with a comfortable win last week, extending their unbeaten streak in the league to three games. Notably, they have scored more than one goal in just one home game in 2025.
Tidjany Touré and Carlos Eduardo remain sidelined with injuries, but the hosts have a full-strength squad for this crucial match.
Dragões head into the match on a four-game winning streak in the Primeira Liga and are strong favorites. Notably, they have won only one of their last two away games in this fixture, scoring one goal apiece in both.
Francisco Moura is in the final phase of his recovery and will miss the trip to Barcelos alongside Martim Fernandes, who picked up a knock last week.
The visitors have a good record in this fixture, and considering Gil Vicente's poor recent home form, we back Dragões to eke out a narrow win.
