Match preview: Nacional vs Gil Vicente
Nacional and Gil Vicente will meet at the Madeira Stadium for the 30th round of the Primeira Liga. The last encounter between these two sides ended with Gil Vicente winning 2-1 at home on 7 December 2024. Historical head-to-head records favour the visitors, as they have won both of their last two matches against Nacional. It’s worth noting the differing home and away records of both teams, as each has shown strikingly different performances based on their hosts or visitors.
Team analysis: Nacional
Following 9 wins, 5 draws, and 15 losses, Nacional currently sit 11th in the table with a total of 29 points. Their last match saw them secure a 1-0 victory over Boavista away from home, before which they suffered a narrow defeat at home to an amateur side, losing 0-1. Nacional typically perform much better on home soil; in their past 30 matches, they have recorded 2 wins, 2 draws, and 11 losses on the road, compared to 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses at home. Within the league context, Nacional has garnered 17 points from a possible 30 in their last 10 home games, reflecting 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. Notably, the most common score at half-time during these matches has been 0-0, occurring in 5 out of the 14 matches. Defensively, the team has been vulnerable, conceding goals in 8 of their last 10 matches in this competition. Notably, they have allowed the opposition to score first in 16 out of 29 games, failing to recover on any of those occasions. They did, however, score 8 of their 19 goals at home between the 31st and 45th minutes.
Recently, Nacional has found themselves breathing a little easier, now 9 points clear of AVS, the first team in the relegation zone. Their important win at Bessa ended a run of two defeats, and a victory at this juncture could almost assure them of safety, especially since they are now 9 points ahead with only 12 points remaining to contest.
Team analysis: Gil Vicente
Gil Vicente, with 6 wins, 8 draws, and 15 losses, currently occupies 14th place with 26 points. They faced a defeat at home against Vitória SC (0-1) in their last match, having previously lost to Moreirense (0-1) at home as well. Interestingly, this team has recorded more positive results when playing away, with their away record being 4 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses, while they have only managed 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses in front of their own fans. Their last away match saw them win 3-1 against Boavista. In their last 10 league games, Gil Vicente has not been in great form, achieving only 8 points from a possible 30, with their matches frequently concluding at half-time with a score of 0-0, a result seen 7 times in 15 matches. Defensively, they have struggled, conceding at least one goal in each of their last 10 games, and their attacking line has faltered, failing to score in 7 of those matches. They have been behind in 15 out of 29 games without managing to stage a comeback. In their last 14 away matches, they scored 5 of their 11 goals between the 46th and 60th minutes.
Currently, Gil Vicente is going through a dire period, having suffered 4 defeats in their last 5 rounds. Their only gain came against Boavista, with all other losses being at home: first to Santa Clara (0-1), followed by Benfica (0-3), Moreirense (0-1), and lastly, a defeat against Vitória SC (0-1). The team, managed by César Peixoto, is only 3 points above AVS, the first team in the relegation zone. An immediate turnaround is necessary, as the change in coaching staff has failed to yield any dividends thus far, at least in terms of results.
