Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Gil Vicente and Santa Clara square off against each other at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in the Primeira Liga round 14. Gil Vicente do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing each of their last six league matches, but it remains to be seen if the World Cup break is going to have a positive impact on the squad. Goalkeeper Andrew da Silva Ventura is back from injury, but forward Lucas Barros remains on the sidelines with injury.
Meanwhile, Santa Clara aim to build on a 3-1 win over Estoril. Os Acoreanos, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Barcelos.
Highlighted Team (Santa Clara):
Santa Clara are a professional football club that compete in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Os Acoreanos (The Azoreans) play their home games at Estadio de Sao Miguel, the venue which can hold up to 13,277 people.
Estadio de Sao Miguel was built in 1930. Santa Clara are the only team from the Azores Islands to compete in the Primeira Liga. Os Acoreanos are well known for its close connection with famoust Portuguese club Benfica, with the two teams sharing the very same crest until recently.
Santa Clara wear red shirts and white shorts when playing at home ground, whilst white is the dominant colour of their away kit. Os Acoreanos participated in the Intertoto Cup in the 2002/2003 season, with the team beating FC Shirak in round 1 5-3 on aggregate, while suffering a loss to Teplice 2-9 on agg. in round 2. CD Operario from Lagao are considered Santa Clara’s fiercest rivals.
