On matchday one of the Primeira Liga, sixth-place finishers last season, Gil Vicente, meet Rio Ave, who were 12th. Both sides wrapped up last season winless and will be looking to improve on that. Gil Vicente are unbeaten at home in seven matches in this fixture, and our prediction backs them to avoid defeat on Sunday too.
The Roosters will still be thinking of their missed chances last season after being pushed out of the top four. For the better part of the season they looked like serious contenders for Europe.
Towards the end, however, they pressed the self-destruct button. In the final 12 matches, they managed just two wins and lost six times.
While Gil Vicente were licking their wounds after failing to reach their European ambitions, Rio Ave were just happy to avoid relegation. The visitors finished just six points above the drop zone, ending what was a tough campaign winless in their closing five games.
A fresh start will be welcome for the Vilacondenses, who are also looking to address their poor run in away matches last season. The visitors failed to win in 12 of their 17 league games on the road.
They are also winless in seven visits here, although they only lost twice in that period.

Our Gil Vicente vs Rio Ave Prediction
Gil Vicente’s last defeat in this fixture was two years ago. They are coming off a strong run in preseason, unbeaten in the four matches they played. There’s a lot that will change from those offseason matches, but playing at home, Gil Vicente will still hold an advantage.
Rio Ave weren’t really great on the road last season and that might follow them, especially as they are winless in their last seven visits here. Our prediction for Gil Vicente v Rio Ave is that Gil Vicente wins.
