THE PREDICTION

With 10 games left to play in the Primeira Liga there is little left to achieve for both Rio Ave and Gil Vicente other than their slow road to safety. With several worse-off candidates currently fighting relegation at the bottom of the table, though, both sides look set to finish comfortable enough in mid-table and they will have welcomed an international break for a rest rather than recalibration. Rio Ave are unbeaten in three league games but were trending in the wrong direction after back-to-back draws. Their home record sees just one loss at home in five league games and that should see them claim at least one point here against Gil Vicente, who made it back-to-back wins last time out with a 2-0 win against struggling Nacional but have lost four of their last six road games. Gil Vicente have won the last three editions of this fixture to nil in league and cup and in fact both teams have not scored in this fixture since 2015. Given that a result looks tough to call pick both teams not to score here, although draw no bet in favour of the hosts should cover well.
