Gil Vicente - statistics & current form
Portuguese football keeps writing unusual stories. For the 2019/20 season, the blue-reds from Gil Vicente returned to the Portuguese league after the club was only third class the previous year. This was possible because an appeals court declared the forced relegation from 2006 (use of a player without a contract) as null and void. The rise at the "green table" is a commonality with the opening opponent Boavista Porto. Their forced relegation was carried out in 2008 and reversed for the 2014/15 season.

Few goals are to be expected
The unexpected often happens and so the people in charge at Gil Vicente had a difficult task to form a team for the top division from a third division team. The sovereign relegation in both seasons with 43 and 39 points is to be rated accordingly high.

It was particularly noticeable in the past season that the team of head coach Ricardo Soares shows major deficits, especially in the offensive game. In 34 league games only 33 hits were scored, on average this did not even result in one hit per league game. Only 13 goals were scored in the home stadium, resulting in an extremely poor home record (4-4-9). This made Gil Vicente the second weakest home team in the league - a clear argument to discourage the tip on a home win at Gil Vicente's start against Boavista Porto.

Out in the Taca de Liga
The home game on Monday will be the first league game in 2021/22, but not the first competitive game. In the league cup, the Taca de Liga, the Soares-Elf had to compete twice. After a late win against CD Tondela, they were eliminated on penalties against Pacos Ferreira in the second round.

After regular playing time there was a 1: 1 against the Liv rivals. Avoiding a defeat will be the big goal so as not to be confronted with the weak home record at the beginning of the season. The squad has been strengthened selectively, but there are no big names to be found. All in all, the Soares-Elf is probably on a similar level as last season.

Boavista Porto - statistics & current form
The new 2021/22 season will be the eighth year in a row in which the former champion (2000/01) is first class. After the forced relegation, the relegation to the third division followed and Boavista Porto disappeared for a long time into insignificance. In the meantime, the team has established itself in the midfield of the league and keeps one eye on the top six.

Best offensive performance since returning
For years the philosophy of Boavista Porto was to keep the back at zero and somehow hope for a goal at the front. The black and white checkered games were only beautiful to look at in the rarest of cases. In the game forward, there were hardly any coherent actions and the offensive players received no support from advancing players.

After finishing ninth (2016/17), eight, eighth (2017/18 and 2018/19) and twelfth place (2019/20), Boavista Porto only had to settle for 13th place last year. This despite the fact that the team scored more goals than ever since their return (39 goals). However, the increased penetration in the game towards the front was clearly at the expense of the defensive (49 goals conceded). Head coach Jesualdo Ferreira did not manage to find a better balance and had to vacate his chair after six months.

Convincing start to the season
With loaner Angel Gomes (six goals, six assists), Boavista Porto lost its creative spirit, but neo-coach Joao Pedro Sousa (long-time companion of Marco Silva as assistant coach at Watford and Everton and former Famalicao coach) can still look forward to an interesting one Fall back squad. FC Porto loaner Awaziem has been signed on and will act as a defensive boss. The Iranian national goalkeeper Beiranvand should avoid the tide of goals and top players like Alberth Elis or Reggie Cannon are still available.

The start of the season in the League Cup was absolutely satisfactory and Boavista won against both Maritimo Funchal and Portimonense without conceding a goal.

Expected formation of Boavista Porto:
Beiranvand - Ferreira, Awaziem, Porozo, Cannon - Javi Garcia, Makouta - Elis, Perez, Gorre - Njie
