Match Time & Date:

01:00 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Braga
Gil Vicente and Braga go head to head at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in the Primeira Liga round 9. Gil Vicente rolled over Condeixa 5-0 in the Taca de Portugal, but they failed to win the previous five league fixtures. Ricardo Soares’ troops are eager to return to winning ways in Primeira Liga, but they will have a mountain to climb in Monday’s clash.
Braga head into the match following the Europa League encounter with Ludogorets, meaning that tired legs could prove to be a big problems for the visitors. Since Os Minhotos have drawn four of their last five league fixtures, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos. In their last meeting in the Portuguese elite division the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
Highlighted Player (Lourency):
Lourency is a product of Brazilian football team Lideral Futebol Club who plays for Gil Vicente. Born on January 2, 1996, in Imperatriz, Brazil, Lourency started his senior career at Chapecoense. After spending two seasons on loan at Vila Nova and Brasil de Pelotas, he joined Primeira Liga side, Gil Vicente.
Lourency scored on his debut in the Portuguese top flight on August 20, 2019, in a 2-1 win over Porto. His most significant success came in 2016 when he won the Copa Sudamericana trophy with Chapecoense, beating Atletico Nacional in the title game. Lourency’s primary position is right winger, but he is used as both left winger and second striker.
Despite being part of the team that won the Copa Sudamericana title, the Gil Vicente footballer has yet to earn a call-up for the Brazil national team. His preferred foot is right, and he has a contract with Gil Vicente until June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Braga):
Braga are a Portuguese club that have always been in the shadow of Primeira Liga giants Porto, Benfica and Sporting. Os Minhotos were founded on 19 January, 1921 and they originally played in green and white kits. After the World War II they changed their kits to red and they have been wearing red shirts and white shorts ever since.
Braga play their home games at Estadio Municipal de Braga, the stadium that was opened in December, 2003. Os Minhotos have yet to win the Primeira Liga title, but they finished the 2009/2010 campaign in second position in the standings, just five points behind champions Benfica.
In 2011 Braga participated in the Europa League final, but fellow Portuguese outfit Porto proved to be a big catch for Os Minhotos. Anyhow, that is regarded as the club’s biggest success. Vitoria de Guimaraes are considered Braga’s bitter rivals and the two teams face each other in the Minho derby.
