🔥 Our Hot tip

BTTS - Yes

Both teams have scored in five of the last eight meetings between Gil Vicente and Porto

Gil Vicente and Porto will meet in the next Primeira Liga round on Sunday, 19 January.

Will the hosts continue their solid form and surprise the favoured opponent or will Porto secure important points as they try to climb to the top of the standings? Find that out and more from our Gil Vicente vs Porto prediction and preview.

Porto vs Gil Vicente prediction: Hosts to put up a good fight

  • Both teams have scored in 62% of Gil Vicente's home games in the league so far.
  • In three of their last four duels against Porto, Gil Vicente have won with a +2 handicap.
  • Gil Vicente enter this game on a five game undefeated streak in the Primeira Liga.

Correct score prediction: Gil Vicente 1-2 Porto

While we can see Porto winning this match, based on their recent duels against Gil Vicente and hosts being in good form at the moment, we don't see this being a convincing win. Furthermore, Porto have lost their last match in the league to Nacional away from home and they have in general been vulnerable in away matches in the league, so a narrow win for the guests sounds like a realistic outcome.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Porto are considered huge favourites

  • HOME: 7/1 (8.00) – 12.50%
  • DRAW: 7/2 (4.50) – 22.20%
  • AWAY: 2/5 (1.40) – 71.40%

We can see from these Gil Vicente vs Porto odds that the guests are the expected winners and by a huge margin, which is understanable considering that Porto are one of the best teams in the country and currently in a close title race.

That being said, Gil Vicente have done very well in the league in recent matches and this game might just be a much closer affair than the odds suggest.

Player to watch: Samuel Omorodion Aghehowa

The 20-year-old forward has justified the hefty price tag paid by Porto to Atletico Madrid, at least so far, given that the Spaniard has 13 goals in the Primeira Liga this season. Only Viktor Gyokeres has scored more goals in the league this season than Omorodion, so he will be the player to watch against Gil Vicente too.
