Prediction: 1-1
Famalicao
Santa Clara and Famalicao square off against each other at Estadio de Sao Miguel in the Primeira Liga round 21. Santa Clara are still eyeing their first win of 2023, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail in Sunday’s clash. Goalkeeper Marco Pereira remains on the sidelines with a hamstring problem, whilst there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Joao Pedro Sousa’s troops, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Braga and Gil Vicente, and seeing that they are desperate to return to winning ways as well, we believe that both teams to score betting option should be considered. The good news for the visiting side is that talented midfielder Gustavo Amaro Assuncao returns from suspension. In the first half of the season Famalicao defeated Santa Clara thanks to Zaydou Youssouf’s goal.
