The last two matches resulted in two draws for Gil Vicente, keeping them in the mid-table position. They currently hold 27 points, just 5 points ahead of Estoril who are in the play-out position. However, a total of 6 clubs separate them, giving Gil Vicente a high level of certainty about their survival in the league next season, with just 10 rounds remaining. Their performance at home is more than commendable, having suffered only 2 defeats in 12 matches.

Chaves is facing a critical moment in the next few rounds, aiming to make changes and accumulate points crucial for their fight for survival. Currently, the club is in the relegation zone with 18 points, four fewer than Estoril and five fewer than Portimonense, which resides in the safe zone. The 5-1 loss at home to Arouc exposed the team’s weaknesses quite starkly. It seems a miracle will be necessary for the team to maintain their league status.

Gil Vicente vs Chaves pick: GIL VICENTE TO WIN

Based on their position in the table, it may appear that Gil Vicente lacks a specific motive. However, as mentioned earlier, they don’t have a significant advantage over the lower-ranked teams and they perform exceptionally well at home. Hence, as indicated by the odds, Gil Vicente is the favorite in this situation.

Chaves has not experienced a victory on the road since October 1st of the previous year. They can no longer afford to wait and must become more aggressive, yet they face a formidable challenge which predicts another arduous and disappointing game. Opting for Gil Vicente to triumph appears to be a sound choice.
