A Battle of Attack vs Defence
Key Stats
– Clayton is on a hot streak, scoring six goals across all competitions this season.
– Gil Vicente’s attacking prowess has seen them average 2.3 goals per game, but their defence concedes 1.8 goals on average.
As we approach another tantalising fixture in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, the stage is set for an electric Monday night clash at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos between Gil Vicente and Casa Pia. Both teams have their unique stories this season, with moments of triumph and heartache. Here’s our comprehensive preview and predictions, using the array of data at our disposal.
Recent Form and Head-to-Head
Casa Pia are buzzing from their recent success in the Taca da Liga. With an initial win under their belt, they’re marching to Barcelos, carrying memories of last season’s defeats to Gil Vicente and hoping to rewrite the script. A consecutive win is something Casa Pia craves, having not yet tasted back-to-back victories this season.

Conversely, Gil Vicente are reeling from a late-game heartbreak, succumbing 2-1 to Porto. Despite Depu’s equaliser in the first half, a last-minute goal by Eustaquio saw them return home empty-handed. Notably, prior to this loss, they had a morale-boosting 5-3 win over Estoril Praia.
Gil Vicente sits 11th in the league standings, but there’s solace in their home record. Since May’s beginning, they’ve been formidable at home, excluding a narrow loss to giants, Benfica. Casa Pia, while shining in the Taca da Liga, have also been impressively consistent in the Primeira Liga. Occupying the 8th position, they’ve been unbeaten in five of their opening fixtures.
The historical data doesn’t favour Casa Pia. The hosts, Gil Vicente, have dominated the recent meetings, keeping two clean sheets and scoring three goals since 2016.
Top Players and Team News
While Stanislav Kritsyuk’s absence due to injury has hampered Gil Vicente’s defence, they still boast talent. Dominguez has been stellar, reflected in his BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.48, closely followed by Fujimoto. On the attack, Depú has been their go-to man.
Casa Pia’s injury woes centre around their attack, missing Kiki Silva and Leo Natel. Yet, the talismanic Clayton, with his six-goal tally this season, is expected to lead the frontline.
Team Stats and Analysis
Analysing both teams’ expected goals, Gil Vicente’s attack has been potent, averaging a remarkable 2.3 goals per game. Their defensive frailties are evident, conceding 1.8 goals per match. With a ball possession of 51%, they’ve been orchestrating plays, but they must shore up their defence.
Casa Pia, though not as prolific upfront, boast a tighter defence, letting in only 0.7 goals on average. With a ball possession of 44%, they tend to be more reactive.
Interestingly, in four of Gil Vicente’s previous five matches, both teams found the net. Casa Pia has a similar stat, with both sides scoring in four of their last six. This reflects the attacking intent both teams possess and their defensive vulnerabilities.
Predictions
- Both Teams to Score: Considering the recent form of both sides, this seems a likely outcome. Gil Vicente have netted 14 in six matches, while Casa Pia have mustered seven. Given both sides’ attacking prowess and defensive lapses, it’s highly plausible both will find the back of the net.
- Correct Score Prediction: A high scoring 2-2 draw. Both teams have showcased their attacking flair, and given their defensive vulnerabilities, a draw with both sides scoring multiple goals seems probable.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Clayton. The Brazilian forward’s current form makes him a prime candidate to continue his scoring spree. With six goals in all competitions, expect him to be a threat.
- Corner Prediction: With Gil Vicente averaging 2.8 corners and Casa Pia significantly higher at 6.8, expect Casa Pia to win more corners, with a total of around 9-10 corners in the match.
