Prediction: 1-1
Gil Vicente
Portimonense will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Vitoria Guimaraes when they take on Gil Vicente at Estadio Municipal de Portimao on Sunday evening. Paulo Sergio’s troops proved their worth in the season opener, but the bad news for the fans is that experienced midfielder Fabricio limped off with an injury after just 37 minutes. Portimonense aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash.
Gil Vicente, on the other hand, made a flying start to the season, with the team rolling over Boavista 3-0 at home ground. Os Galos are now eyeing their first away win of the season, and seeing that they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach as well, we believe that punters can find value in betting on both teams to score. A man to watch in the away team will be Spain international Fran Navarro, who scored a brace in the season opener.
