Vitoria Guimaraes vs Gil Vicente Prediction 02.12.2024 | Primeira Liga

• Competition: Portugal - Primeira Liga
• Date: Monday, 2nd, December 2024
• Kickoff: 18:45 UK /19.45 CET
• Venue: Estadio D. Afonso Henriques (Guimaraes)

Vitoria Guimaraes aim to edge nearer to the European spots when they take on Gil Vicente at Estadio D. Afonso Henriques in Monday's Primeira Liga encounter.

After finishing fifth in the Portuguese top flight last season, Guimaraes earned a ticket to UEFA's third-tier tournament, and in midweek, they were in European action, where they had to work hard to grab a late 1-1 draw at Astana in Kazakhstan. With that shared result, Os Conquistadores remain one of the unbeaten sides in the Conference League after a furious start with three wins from three matches, but now their attention turns back to domestic duties, where they seek to rectify a poor run of just one win from their last five games as they continue chasing European qualification spots.

Now in their sixth straight season competing in the Portuguese elite division, Gil Vicente find themselves struggling to make an impact, with a fragile 10-point haul keeping them only a single point ahead of Nacional, who occupy the relegation playoff position. The latest Primeira Liga outing brought bitter disappointment for the Roosters, who shockingly squandered a two-goal lead and ultimately suffered a late 2-3 defeat at the hands of Moreirense, solidifying their reputation as one of the weakest travelers this season.

Vitoria Guimaraes vs Gil Vicente Betting Tips: GUIMARAES TO WIN

In recent years, we've seen that the home ground plays a crucial role in the rivalry between these two teams, as each of their previous head-to-head matches has resulted in the home side emerging victorious, and we hope this trend will continue on Monday. In addition, it's worth noting that Vitoria Guimaraes have been nearly unstoppable on their home turf this season, turning nine of their opening 11 matches into successes, and now they are aiming for a fourth home win on the bounce. 

A full three points for Guimaraes seems within reach, as their visitors, Gil Vicente, have been in complete disarray recently, failing to earn a single point in their last three top-flight matches, while a dreadful run of two draws and four losses has positioned them as one of the weakest away teams in the division.As a result, we really can't see how the powerless Roosters could make life difficult for Guimaraes, who have been unstoppable in front of their fans and are ready to hand Gil Vicente their fifth straight defeat at the Estadio D. Afonso Henriques.
