Gil Vicente lost their visit to Benfica, but their performance deserved respect. Despite the defeat, the team remains among the stable squads in the league, especially at home, where all three matches played so far ended with a score of 2:0 – twice in their favor and once against them. Discipline in defense is their main weapon, which often decides their matches.
Estrela relies on solid defenseThe guests finally achieved their first victory of the season and will try to use this momentum. They do not shine in terms of scoring, but defensively they are among the most reliable in the league with only six goals conceded. However, they have yet to achieve success in their away games – three consecutive draws, which show that they know how to hold onto a result, but find it difficult to build on it.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goalsBoth teams are built on a solid defense, and their high-scoring matches are more of an exception. Seven of the last eight matches of Gil Vicente and eight of the last ten of Estrela ended with under 2.5 goals. My expectation is that this match will also be contested, but with few goals.
