Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Following a heavy 4-0 loss to Estoril, Farense will look to return to winning ways in the Primeira Liga when they take on Gil Vicente on Matchday 16. Os Leoes de Faro have been struggling in front of goal of late, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for the home side. Both Rui Costa and Talys are pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Os Galos, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Boavista and they managed to get one thanks to Murilo’s goal. Gil Vicente put an end to their three-game winless run, but beating Farense on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the first match of 2024. Gil Vicente goalkeeper Stanislav Kritsyuk remains in the treatment room, while Angola forward Depu is a major doubt.
