Prediction: 0-1
Santa Clara
Gil Vicente and Santa Clara go head to head at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in the Primeira Liga round 20. Gil Vicente aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Sporting CP and Portimonense, and a win over Santa Clara could see them escape the relegation zone. Dias Lino, who scored from the penalty spot at the weekend, is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. Os Acoreanos, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Braga.
Santa Clara are ten points behind the Europa League berth, and, no doubt, they are eager to get back on course in the Portuguese elite division. Since Gil Vicente suffered four defeats in the previous five league fixtures, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. Julian Rodriguez Romao should be the only absentee in 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.
