Editorial Prediction
Considering Gil Vicente's recent streak of seven consecutive home losses, we don't see Arouca as the underdogs in this matchup. Not long ago, they managed to take points from Benfica at the Estádio da Luz, so they certainly have a shot at success here as well. Our main pick is that the visitors will not lose.
