Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Moreirense take on Gil Vicente at Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas in the opening match of day 12. Os Verdes e Brancos failed to win the previous four league fixtures, and, as a result, they are sitting just above the relegation zone ahead of the visit of Gil Vicente. Brazil international Yan is pushing for a start after scoring a brace in the Taca de Portugal win over Vitoria Guimaraes.
Ricardo Soares’ troops, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Arouca in their last league match. Gil Vicente aim to retain their spot in top ten, but seeing that the relegation-threatened hosts are desperate to grab something from Saturday’s clash, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Spain attacker Fran Navarro, who found the net in the 1-1 draw with Arouca, is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Pedro Nuno ):
After spending his youth career at the likes of Buarcos, Naval, Benfica, and Academica, Pedro Nuno continued playing for the Briosa at the senior level. Pedro Nuno scored five goals in 25 appearances for Academica in the league, which persuaded Benfica chiefs to sign him on November 28, 2016.
The Portuguese midfielder, though, was immediately sent on loan to Tondela, where he scored four goals in 45 appearances for the club. In 2018 Pedro Nuno moved to Moreirense, and he has been playing for Os verdes e brancos ever since. He made his Primeira Liga debut with Moreirense on August 11, 2019, in a 3-1 away loss to Sporting Braga.
Pedro Nuno was born in Buarcos, Portugal, on January 13, 1995, and he wears the number 27 jersey at Moreirense. His primary position is left winger, but he is used as both second striker and attacking midfielder. Pedro Nuno has yet to make his debut with the Portugal senior team.
Highlighted Team (Gil Vicente):
Founded in 1924, Gil Vicente are a Portuguese football club that compete in Primeira Liga. The Galos (Roosters) are well known for their red kit, but they wear white shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
Gil Vicente have yet to win a domestic trophy, but they did well to make it to the Taca da Liga final in the 2011/2012 season. The Galos suffered a 2-1 loss to Benfica in the title game at Estadio Cidade de Coimbra. The likes of Rodrigo and Saviola scored for Benfica, with Ze Luis finding the net for Gil Vicente.
The Galos welcome their rivals at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos, the stadium which can hold up to 12,504 people. The venue was opened on May 30, 2014 and it can hold up to 12,504 people. It has to be noted that the team first secured promotion to the Portuguese elite division in 1990.
