Finished
Expected score: Alavarium W 21-26 Gil Eanes W
Alavarium Women host Gil Eanes Women in the 1a Divisao Women on 14 November 2026. The visitors arrive as clear favourites, sitting fourth in the standings with 18 points from 8 games, while the hosts languish in ninth with just 12 points from 9 matches. This fixture pits a side in freefall against one of the division's stronger performers.
Team form
Alavarium W
Alavarium's recent record is deeply concerning. They have won just once in their opening nine games and have lost four of their last five outings. Over the past five matches, they have averaged 19.2 goals per game while conceding 27.2—a defensive frailty that has become their defining characteristic. Their most recent outing saw them lose 20-29 at home to ABC Braga, extending a run in which they have been outscored in every match bar one draw. The sole bright spot came on 10 October when they drew 26-26 away at CALE, but that reprieve was short-lived. With only one draw and one win to show from nine attempts, Alavarium are struggling to find any consistent attacking or defensive shape.
Gil Eanes W
Gil Eanes occupy a markedly different position. They have won five of their eight games and sit comfortably in the top half of the table. Their recent form is mixed but broadly positive: they beat Feirense 32-20 and ABC Braga 26-18, and edged past Juvelis 26-25 in a tight contest. Over their last five games, they have scored 26.8 goals per game while conceding 23.2, demonstrating both attacking potency and reasonable defensive discipline. Their only setback in this run came against Madeira SAD, a narrow 20-21 home loss, but they have otherwise shown the consistency expected of a top-four side.
Head-to-head
No head-to-head record exists between these sides in the available data.
Key factors
The gulf in form and league position is stark. Alavarium's defensive record—conceding 27.2 goals per game over five matches—is the primary concern; Gil Eanes' attacking average of 26.8 goals per game suggests they will find opportunities to exploit. Conversely, Alavarium's attacking output of 19.2 goals per game falls short of what would be needed to keep pace with a Gil Eanes side that has conceded only 23.2 per game recently. The visitors' superior consistency and league standing indicate they should control the tempo and dictate play. For Alavarium, a home fixture offers some comfort, but recent results show they have struggled to turn that advantage into results.
Prediction
Gil Eanes are the clear favourites on the basis of their league position, recent form, and the disparity in both attacking and defensive metrics. Alavarium's defensive vulnerabilities and lack of scoring consistency make them unlikely to overcome a visiting side that has proven capable of scoring in the high 20s. The data strongly favours an away victory, with Gil Eanes expected to outscore their hosts by a margin of around 4-5 goals based on recent performance trends.
Gil Eanes should win this match. The visitors possess superior form, a better defensive record, and greater attacking firepower. While Alavarium will seek to exploit home advantage, their recent trajectory suggests they lack the defensive solidity or attacking threat to trouble a Gil Eanes side that has demonstrated consistent quality in the top half of the division.
