Friday's Match Preview: Portuguese League Arouca vs. Gil Vicente (with 4 predictions inside)
Arouca's recent situation: Arouca has experienced a cliff-like decline in overall strength this season, currently ranking at the bottom of the Portuguese League table with only 3 wins, 2 draws, and 10 losses, falling into the relegation zone; however, fortunately, they are only 2 points behind the relegation zone, so there is still a chance to complete the relegation task this season, therefore the team is not lacking in motivation when playing at home in this battle. In terms of recent form, they lost 1-3 away to Casa Pia in the last league match, and in the past 10 matches in various events, they have only achieved 2 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses. However, it should be noted that Arouca has won 7 times and drawn 3 times in the last 10 matches against Gil Vicente, giving them an absolute advantage in terms of psychological advantage in the matchup.
Gil Vicente's recent situation: After 15 rounds of the league, Gil Vicente has achieved 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses, ranking 10th in the Portuguese League table, with a relatively average overall performance and a strength positioning in the mid-to-lower reaches of the league. Looking at the recent form, they drew 0-0 at home against strong opponents Sporting Lisbon in the last league match, and in the last 3 league matches, they have achieved 2 wins and 1 draw without defeat. However, from the perspective of away games, their away performance this season has been poor, achieving only 1 win, 2 draws, and 5 losses, with the offensive and defensive ends on the road indeed not living up to expectations.
Opinion: In the last 10 duels between the two teams, Arouca has 7 wins and 3 draws, holding an absolute advantage. Currently, the pre-match data gives Arouca -0.25 goals at a high position, and the market as a whole continues to maintain the current level, with more heat leaning towards the away team side, holding a skeptical attitude towards whether the home team can win the game. Considering the recent form and team atmosphere of both sides, I still favor Gil Vicente to leave unscathed.
Direction: Let negative, score: 0-0 0-1
