Gil Vicente v Vizela

Gil Vicente vs Vizela Preview

Gil Vicente were handed a heavy 3-0 loss away from home at the league leaders Benfica last weekend in the Portuguese top flight but realistically, Gil Vicente would not have been expecting too much but the hosts now return to their Estádio Cidade de Barcelos for Tuesday afternoon's clash with the bottom placed club Vizela, while Vizela slumped to a fourth league defeat on the trot.

Gil Vicente currently occupy a mid-table position of 10th place in the Primeira Liga table but the hosts had previously recorded back-to-back wins against Portimonense and Vitoria Guimaraes so Vitor Campelos's side will be in confident mood that they can return to winning ways at the expense of their visitors here on Tuesday.

In addition, Gil Vicente had picked up an earlier 1-0 home win against Boavista which makes it three wins from their last six matches overall and holds a lot more promise than their previous sequence of results which saw Gil Vicente winless in their preceding seven matches overall.

Although overall results in the domestic top flight have been fairly inconsistent where Gil Vicente have been concerned, the hosts have been dealt just two defeats in their last 20 home games at their Estádio Cidade de Barcelos which surely places Gil Vicente in a promising position for this upcoming encounter.

Vizela remain firmly rooted to the bottom of the Primeira Liga table after slipping to a fourth defeat on the trot which came in the form of a 1-0 loss at home to Vitoria Guimaraes and followed previous defeats at the hands of Boavista, Sporting Lisbon and Arouca in 4-1, 5-2 and 5-0 losses respectively.

This means that Vizela have also conceded a total of 15 goals in each of their last four games in the domestic top flight while the visitors have now failed to win any of their previous 10 matches overall.

Six defeats within these last 10 games have prevented Vizela from lifting themselves off the bottom of the Primeira Liga table and the bigger picture shows Vizela have managed to capture just two wins throughout the whole of this season's campaign which also does not bode well for this upcoming trip to face Gil Vicente at the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos.

Vizela have also collected just the single win from their last 12 outings on the road and includes slipping to seven defeats in the process, so the visitors look to have their work cut out here.

Gil Vicente v Vizela Verdict

Gil Vicente have lost just once in their last 10 meetings against Vizela and the hosts look in good shape to gain a positive result here on Tuesday afternoon as well.
