Prediction: 0-1
Ferreira
After sharing the spoils with Gil Vicente, Belenenses will be looking to return to winning ways in the Primeira Liga when they take on Ferreira on Sunday evening. O Belem are on a four-game winless run in all competitions, and they face a difficult task in the clash against Ferreira, who are enjoying a very successful season. Experienced attacker Silvestre Varela, who was injured in the goalless draw with Gil Vicente, is unlikely to feature against Ferreira.
Os Castores, on the other hand, gave fans yet another reason for celebration at the weekend, with the team beating Rio Ave 2-0 at home ground. Ferreira defeated Porto in the Primeira Liga earlier in the process, and given Belenenses’ current form, away win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Brazil forward Douglas Tanque, who scored a brace in the triumph over Rio Ave.
Highlighted Player (Goncalo Silva):
Born in Barreiro, Portugal, on June 4, 1991, Goncalo Silva is a defender who plays for Belenenses. After starting his youth career at Barreirense, Goncalo Silva moved to Lousada before the start of the 2010/2011 season.
After making 28 appearances in the league for the club, the Portuguese defender joined Atletico Club de Portugal in the 2011/2012 season. In 2012 Goncalo Silva signed a deal with Braga B, but after scoring two goals in 83 appearances for the club, he joined his current club Belenenses in 2015.
The Portuguese footballer made his Primeira Liga debut in on October 26, 2015, in a 1-0 win over Uniao Madeira. His primary position is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a right-back as well. Goncalo Silva has one cap for the Portugal U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut with the senior team. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Ferreira):
Founded on April 5, 1950, Pacos de Ferreira are a Portuguese football club who play their home games at Estadio da Mata Real. The venue can hold up to 9,077 people and it was opened in October 7, 1973. Os Castores are well known for their yellow shirts and green shorts, with the team wearing white and black kit when playing on the travels.
Pacos de Ferreira have yet to win the Primeira Liga trophy, but they did well to make it to the Taca de Portugal final in the 2008/2009 season. Os Castores faced Porto in the title game, with the Dragons attacker Lisandro Lopez scoring the only game of the match.
Two seasons later Pacos de Ferreira faced Benfica in the Taca da Liga final, with the Eagles lifting the trophy. Wolverhampton forward Diogo Jota is one of notable footballers who started their senior careers at Pacos de Ferreira.
