Prediction: 1-1
Gil Vicente
Maritimo will be looking to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Gil Vicente in the Primeira Liga round 31. Maritimo are on the right track to secure the Primeira Liga survival, but they can’t afford any complacency in the season finale. Talented Colombia international Moises Mosquera remains on the sidelines through injury. Gil Vicente, on the other hand, are three points clear of the relegation zone.
Ricardo Soares’ troops collected only one point in total from the previous three league fixtures, but their Primeira Liga status is not yet in danger. Anyhow, share of spoils is on the cards at Estadio dos Barreiros as both teams should be happy with one point from the match. Attacker Pedro Marques, who suffered an injury in the goalless draw with Farense, is unlikely to feature against Maritimo.
