Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estadio Municipal de Rio Maior will host Sunday’s football game between Casa Pia and Gil Vicente, the two teams who are level on points in the Primeira Liga standings. Casa Pia are eyeing their third consecutive league win and we predict that they will rely on their rock-solid defence in the round 24 clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Brazil winger Pablo Roberto, who produced a brilliant display in the last league match, while Kiki Silva remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury.
Os Galos, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Vizela, beating Estoril, while sharing the spoils with Porto at the weekend. Gil Vicente and Casa Pia seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils in Sunday’s encounter. As for the away side, Tidjany Toure is a major doubt after limping off with injury against the Dragons.
Highlighted Team (Gil Vicente):
Founded in 1924, Gil Vicente are a Portuguese football club that compete in Primeira Liga. The Galos (Roosters) are well known for their red kit, but they wear white shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
Gil Vicente have yet to win a domestic trophy, but they did well to make it to the Taca da Liga final in the 2011/2012 season. The Galos suffered a 2-1 loss to Benfica in the title game at Estadio Cidade de Coimbra. The likes of Rodrigo and Saviola scored for Benfica, with Ze Luis finding the net for Gil Vicente.
The Galos welcome their rivals at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos, the stadium which can hold up to 12,504 people. The venue was opened on May 30, 2014 and it can hold up to 12,504 people. It has to be noted that the team first secured promotion to the Portuguese elite division in 1990.
