The match between Gil Vicente FC and CD Nacional Madeira in the Primeira Liga is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM local time on 17 January 2026, which corresponds to 3:30 PM WET (UTC+0) as Portugal operates on Western European Time in January.

The game will be played at Gil Vicente’s home ground, Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, in Barcelos, Portugal, a modern all-seater stadium with a capacity of around 12,000 spectators and a natural grass surface. The venue typically offers a compact but intense atmosphere that tends to favor the home side, and Gil Vicente’s recent strong home form in the 2025–26 season adds to that advantage.

Based on current league positions and recent performances, a logical prediction is a narrow home win for Gil Vicente FC, with correct-score markets often shading towards 1–0 or 2–1 given their solid defense and Nacional’s negative goal difference. From an odds perspective, backing Gil Vicente on the moneyline around 1.80–1.90 or using a safer draw-no-bet line near 1.35–1.40 appears reasonable value, while over/under markets could price under 2.5 goals close to evens due to Gil Vicente’s relatively low-scoring but controlled matches.

In recent competitive head-to-head meetings prior to this fixture, Gil Vicente FC and CD Nacional Madeira have generally produced tight games, with neither side dominating but Gil Vicente edging the more recent results as they re-established themselves in the upper half of the Primeira Liga table. Nacional’s last notable league encounters with top-half sides, including a heavy away loss to Sporting CP in August 2025, suggest they can struggle defensively against stronger opposition, which slightly tilts the historical balance in Gil Vicente’s favor coming into this match.
