Porto vs Gil Vicente Prediction

Porto did not perform at their usual standards last season. The Dragons entered the campaign as defending champions but finished at a disappointing third spot. Vitor Bruno was announced as the club's new manager, replacing Sergio Conceicao who spent seven years in charge.

Gil Vicente have not fared well in this fixture historically and anything other than a large defeat could be seen as a positive.

We are backing Porto to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Porto 3-1 Gil Vicente
