Looking at these two teams, we got some serious contenders here. In one corner, Gil Vicente armed with goalkeeping dynamo, Andrew, sitting prominently with a rating of 7.02 and notching up 10 saves. Top players for the flag waving Gil Vicente include the almighty Félix Correia with a compelling rating of 7.34 and Rúben Fernandes who’s throwing the accuracy around of a pass at 89.4%.
Across the field we have Arouca with a goalie tag team consisting of João Valido and Nico Mantl. João leads the duo with a 7.30 rating, but Nico's not far behind. Discussing their top players feels like watching a Hollywood premiere. The red carpet rolls out for Weverson and his 7.20 rating, closely followed by Dylan Nandín, our goal scoring defender.
Previous encounters might not make much of a Picasso but they paint a story nonetheless. They've shown that Arouca and Gil Vicente can hold their own when faced with each other. Recent results, though, tell us that Arouca's had a better time playing house, while Gil Vicente's last foray into the forest didn’t exactly leave them coming out with a grin and a dance.
Taking all, and by all, I do mean all, factors into account, I have donned the thinking cap – sadly, it doesn't come with a fashion award - and come to a conclusion. My badge of prediction goes to:
