Porto vs Gil Vicente – Betting Preview
In the Dragao, Porto has the ability to defeat any team in Portugal, and they should easily defeat Gil Vicente on Sunday who are threatening relegation.
After losing in the Champions League at the San Siro during the previous week, Sergio Conceicao’s team will attempt to bounce back, but they also believe they still have a strong chance of eliminating Inter Milan!
Porto Preview
The Dragons are attempting to keep pressure on league leaders Benfica and be ready to seize the initiative if the Eagles falter, although Conceicao could once more make some adjustments to his team to rejig it.
This Saturday, he gave Spanish attacker Antonio Martinez his first league start in a month against Rio Ave, and Martinez scored the game’s lone goal.
Martinez requested to leave in January due to his infrequent starting opportunities, but Porto insisted on keeping him. Since Martinez knows the end is near and who will take his place, they later arranged a deal to sign Gil Vicente hitman Fran Navarro in the summer.
It remains to be known how playing against his future team will effect the Roosters attacker, but that should energise him for a potential Sunday direct shoot-out with Navarro.
A 3-0 scoreline could ensue as the Dragons are averaging 3.1 goals per home game this term with a 50% clean sheet ratio. Gil Vicente, meanwhile, shipped three goals apiece on each of their away trips to Porto’s big three rivals Sporting and Benfica!
