In one of Saturday's matches of the 7th round of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, Gil Vicente will play at home with Rio Ave. We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
"Lived Vicente"
After a successful last season, things are not going well for the Barcelona team – they occupy only 11th place in the standings, with 8 points in the asset, while failing to make it to the group stage of the Conference League. In the last two August matches of the championship, "Gil Vicente" drew – at home with "Famalikan" (0:0) and away with "Vizela" (2:2). After that, the Roosters lost to Porto (0:2) at home, and in the last round they won an away victory over Maritimo (2:1).
Rio Ave
Rio Ave, which has returned to the Primeira Liga, currently has 5 points, which allows it to take 14th place in the standings, ahead of the transition zone by only 1 point. Surprisingly, the only victory was obtained over the reigning national champion Porto (3:1) at the end of August in a home match. After it, Bolshaya Reka barely escaped defeat in an away meeting with Vizela (1:1), and in the last round lost to Braga on its field (2:3).

Forecast
"Gil Vicente" clearly could not stand the fight on two fronts, having an insufficient clip, but now there will be no special problems with the fatigue of the players, so the Barcelona players should rise to the top half of the standings. Although Rio Ave is in perfect order, having scored 5 goals in two matches with opponents from the top 3 at once. It will be very difficult for the hosts to keep their goal intact, as it was in the last four full-time matches.
