Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 2-1
Gil Vicente
Estadio de Sao Miguel will host Friday’s football game between Santa Clara and Gil Vicente, the two top-table sides. Santa Clara aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Moreirense and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Os Galos. The fact that Vasco Matos’ men are on a three-game winning run at home ground is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Gil Vicente. Both Safira and Pacheco are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Estrela. Gil Vicente, though, have yet to record a win on the road this term, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. In their last encounter at “Sao Miguel” Santa Clara emerged triumphant (3-2) and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Midfielder Facundo Caseres should be the only absentee in the away 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.

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.
