Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Gil Vicente and Moreirense take on each other at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in the Primeira Liga round 26. Gil Vicente are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the national championship, but the game against Moreirense will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Midfielder Joao Afonso returns from suspension, while Miullen remains in the recovery room.
Moreirense, on the other hand, are on a three-game winless run in the Portuguese top flight, but they did well to hold league leaders Sporting to a draw at the weekend. Vasco Seabra’s troops aim to move closer to the Europa League berth, but beating the in-form hosts on the road is easier said than done. The two teams seem to be evenly matched, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. All Amador, Mane, and Pedro have been struggling with injuries of late for the away team.
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 (Moreirense):
Moreirense are a Portuguese football club based in Moreira de Conegos. Founded on November 1, 1938, Os verdes e brancos welcome their rivals at Parque Moreira de Conegos Guimaraes, the venue which can hold up to 9,000 spectators.
Moreirense wear green and white shirts and white shorts when playing at home, whilst black and red are the dominant colours of their away kit. In the 2016/2017 season Os verdes e brancos did well to win the Taca da Liga trophy, with the team beating Braga 1-0 in the title game.
Caue scored the winner for Moreirense on the stroke of half time. Moreirense impressed in the 2018/2019 Primeira Liga season, finishing the process in sixth position in the standings. The club missed out on a place in the Europa League on goal difference to Vitoria de Guimaraes. Penafiel are considered one of the club’s main rivals.
