Gil Vicente – Boavista : Preview & Prediction
Gil Vicente and Boavista face at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, in a match of the 1st round of the Primeira Liga. The record of recent head-to-heads favors the home team, which in the last 5 matches won 2, drew 2 and lost 1. The last head-to-head between these two teams, on 19‑05‑2021, ended with Boavista winning by ( 1-2). It is necessary to analyze with special attention the home/away condition, as Gil Vicente presents different results at home and abroad.
Gil Vicente Analysis
This is the first match in this edition of the home team’s competition, which ended the previous edition in 11th place. Curiously, this is a team that has been stronger away than at home, as in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses in away matches; against 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in their stadium. In their last match, for the League Cup, they tied in an away match against Paços de Ferreira by (4‑3), in a shoot-out through penalties. In the last 10 home matches Gil Vicente has 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. Their offense has scored regularly, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.
Gil Vicente’s team enters the new edition of the Portuguese League with the aim of repeating the quality of last season, especially demonstrated after the entry of coach Ricardo Soares to the technical command. The top priority of the gilistas is, of course, the achievement of maintenance, even though there is a promise that the team will try to add to this an interesting exhibitional regularity. At the start of the new official sporting year, Gil Vicente beat Tondela (0-1, away from home) in the 1st round of the League Cup, but was then defeated by Paços de Ferreira (1-1 in regular time) after penalties, thus failing access to the group stage of the competition.
Boavista Analysis
The visiting team debuts in this edition of the competition after having finished the last season in 13th place. This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, they have similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with a total of 17 goals scored and 20 conceded. At home, they won 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats, with a total of 16 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa da Liga, they got a home win against Portimonense by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Boavista has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have only turned the score around in the 5 matches they have conceded the first goal.
Boavista’s team comes from a season full of ups and downs, but where it fell far short of expectations, especially after the investment made at the beginning of last year and the players that the checkered board managed to hire. Coach Jesualdo Ferreira continued his journey and was replaced by João Pedro Sousa, responsible for an excellent job, two years ago, at Famalicão. At the start of 2021/22, Boavista already has two victories after two official games, in both cases counting for the preliminary phases of the Portuguese League Cup, against Marítimo (0-1, away) and Portimonense ( 2-0, at home).
