Arouca vs Gil Vicente Prediction 27.12.2024 | Liga Portugal

• Competition: Liga Portugal
• Date: 27.12.2024
• Kickoff: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CET
• Venue: Estádio Municipal de Arouca (Arouca)

Arouca currently sits at the bottom of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, facing a significant challenge to escape the relegation zone and retain their top-flight status. In their previous crucial match against Casa Pia, they suffered a 3-1 defeat, making their upcoming home game even more vital. With 26 goals conceded, they share the league's worst defensive record with Rio Ave.

On the other hand, Gil Vicente has shown solid form in recent weeks. Over their last three matches, they’ve collected 7 points, climbing to 10th place in the standings. Their most notable result came in an away victory against Farense, where they ended a streak of poor performances on the road by securing all three points.

Arouca vs Farense pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

This is an extremely important match, especially for Arouca, who must approach it with more agility and strategic awareness in the upcoming fixtures. While Gil Vicente might be the stronger team, they often struggle to establish a solid offensive presence on the road. As a result, they are likely to focus on a stronger defensive setup and a less risky approach.

This match has the potential to be a low-scoring affair, making under 2.5 goals an excellent betting option.
