Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Following a goalless draw with Casa Pia, Gil Vicente will be aiming to overtake Famalicao in 8th place in the standings when they take on Chaves on Monday evening. Os Galos have yet to secure the Primeira Liga survival as they are only five points clear of the relegation zone and, no doubt, the upcoming match is of big importance for the home side. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Os Valentes, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 5-1 loss to Arouca and given their shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Monday’s clash. Bruno Rodrigues limped off with injury in the last league fixture, with Steven Vitoria likely to step up. Both Cruz and Phete have been struggling with injuries of late as well for the visiting team.
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.
