Prediction: 1-1
Famalicao
Buoyed by a historic 2-1 win over Benfica, Gil Vicente will be looking to climb to the top half of the table when they take on Famalicao in the Primeira Liga round 28. Ricardo Soares’ troops are brimming with confidence ahead of the midweek clash, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for Os Galos. Nogueira returns to the starting XI after serving his ban in the victory over Benfica.
Famalicao, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Portimonense. The relegation-threatened visitors are only three points clear of bottom three, meaning that they are desperate to grab something from Thursday’s clash. Anyhow, share of spoils is on the cards as both sides should be happy with one point from the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos clash. Riccieli is back from suspension for the visitors.
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.
