Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Famalicao will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to Vitoria Guimaraes and Estrela when they take on Gil Vicente on Saturday evening. Os Azuis e Brancos aim to stay in the top half of the table, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Defender Riccieli is banned for the match following his sending-off in a 1-0 loss to Estoril, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Os Galos, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Casa Pia, losing to Chaves, while sharing the spoils with Braga. Gil Vicente, though, have suffered a loss in each of their four away games this term, which is the main reason why we are going to bet on Famalicao this time out. Vitor Campelos has a luxury to field the best possible side against Os Azuis e Brancos.
