Prediction: 0-1
Gil Vicente
Tondela will look to build on a 3-1 win over Estoril when they take on Gil Vicente in the Liga Portugal round 16. Tondela are desperate to put an end to their three-game losing run, but they face a difficult task in the midweek clash. Both Manu Hernando and Naoufel Khacef are back from suspension, while Jota Goncalves continues to miss out with injury.
Gil Vicente, on the other hand, are five points behind the Conference League berth ahead of the trip to Tondela. The visitors aim to move closer to top five, and they should take advantage of Tondela’s poor form. Midfielder Kanya Fujimoto is banned for the visitors following his sending off in the defeat to Sporting CP. When the two teams met in the Taca da Liga in July Gil Vicente defeated Tondela thanks to Carvalho’s goal.
