Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Gil Vicente
Match Time & Date:
23/01/2022
19:00
Prediction: 2-0
Portimonense
Gil Vicente play host to Portimonense at their Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in a highly-anticipated Primeira Liga game. Following back-to-back wins over Tondela and Guimaraes, Gil Vicente shared the spoils with Boavista in their last league match to stay in the Conference League berth. The hosts aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and given Portimonenses’ anything but good form, home win should be considered.
Ricardo Soares should stick to the 4-3-3 formation, with Navarro up front as a lone forward. O Portimao, on the other hand, are on a four-game winless run, and given their shaky defence, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Defender Fali Cande represents Guinea-Bissau at Africa Cup of Nations, and we predict that the 23-year-old is going to be sorely missed in Sunday’s clash.

The black and whites finished the 1984/1985 Primeira Liga campaign in 5th position in the standings and, as a result, booked their place in the UEFA Cup. Portimonense did well to Partizan 1-0 on their debut in the European competition, but they suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to the famous Serbian club in the reverse fixture at Yugoslav National Army Stadium.
Fellow Algavre clubs Farense and Olhanense are considered the club’s main rivals. Jackson Martinez is one of the most notable footballers who played for the club. The Colombian attacker is considered one of the most successful attackers in the history of Porto as he scored 67 goals in 90 appearances for the Dragons in the Primeira Liga.
