Prediction: 2-1
Gil Vicente
Following a 1-1 draw with Boavista, Estoril will look to record their fifth win of the season when they host Gil Vicente to their Estadio Antonio Coimbra de Mota. Os Canarinhos are enjoying a very successful season, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to represent Portugal in European competitions next season. Andre Franco is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the draw with Boavista.
Head coach Bruno Pinheiro has no fresh injury worries ahead of Sunday’s clash. Gil Vicente, on the other hand, were on the verge of holding Porto to a draw at the weekend, but the Dragons eventually scored a late winner. Anyhow, Estoril are more of a team than Gil Vicente, and we predict that the hosts will prove their worth on the field. Gil Vicente midfielder Joao Afonso has been struggling with injury of late, and he is rated doubtful for the game.
