Prediction: 1-2
Nacional
Gil Vicente and Nacional take on each other at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in the opening match of day 24. Gil Vicente aim to build on a 4-2 win over Vitoria Guimaraes, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach in Friday’s clash. Given Nacional’s current form, home win should be considered. The Black and Whites are on a five-game losing run in the Primeira Liga, and given their shaky defence, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the home team.
Witi, who suffered an injury in the 2-1 loss to Maritimo, is unlikely to feature against Gil Vicente. Both Micael and Pedrao, on the other hand, return from suspensions. As for the home team, Brazil international Miullen is likely to miss the game through injury. In the first half of the season Nacional defeated Gil Vicente 2-1.
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.
