Gil Vicente will take on Boavista on Saturday, 2 November in a match that that could prove to be important in the Primeira Liga relegation battle.
Gil Vicente are currently tenth in the league table but will be looking to push for European football this season so winning games against teams lower than them like Boavista feels necessary.
The visitors only just narrowly avoided relegation last season and they look like they will be involved in another battle to beat the drop this time around.

Gil Vicente vs Boavista prediction: The hosts to get the win
Key stats
- Gil Vicente are unbeaten at home in the Primeira Liga this season with two wins and two draws.
- Boavista have failed to win any of their last ten matches in all competitions.
- Three of Boavista's last four matches have all produced fewer than three goals.
Correct score prediction: Gil Vicente 1-0 Boavista
Gil Vicente have been impressive at home this season so it is highly unlikely that a team that haven't won since the beginning of August will be the ones to end their unbeaten home streak. Boavista have lost to nil in four of their last five outings and there is every chance that statistic will read five in six come Saturday night.
Pre-game odds and win probability: The hosts go in as favourites
- HOME: 4/6 (1.67) – 60%
- DRAW: 27/10 (3.70) – 27%
- AWAY: 17/4 (5.25) – 19%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The Gil Vicente vs Boavista odds suggest that Gil Vicente shouldn't be considered as guaranteed winners on Saturday night. While they are the favourites, Ladbrokes have only given them a 60% chance of taking all three points while Boavista have been given a 19% chance of winning the match.

Gil Vicente preview: Key players missing
Gil Vicente's longer-than-expected odds for this match can perhaps be explained by the current injuries they are dealing with. Two of their best players will have to sit this one out with Sphephelo Sithole still out after picking up an injury for South Africa in September and Facundo Caseres still nursing a knee injury.
Predicted lineup: Andrew (GK), Ze Carlos, Mananga, Fernandes, Cruz, Garcia, Fujimoto, Castillo, Mboula, Caue, Correia

Player to watch: Kanya Fujimoto
Kanya Fuijomoto has been electric so far this season for Gil Vicente with the Japanese attacking midfielder exploding into life after four indifferent seasons in Portugal. Fujimoto has already beaten his previous goalscoring best by netting five times this season and he has also provided two assists. Will he light it up again on Saturday?
