Betting on Famalicão
First, Famalicão occupies the 13th position in the Primeira Liga standings. After 19 games played, they have won six, drawn three, and lost ten. And although they are still far from balancing the games won and lost, a win in this game could mean moving up several places in the ranking, thus moving away from the positions with the possibility of relegation.
In the last five Primeira Liga matches, Famalicão has had irregular results, alternating between victories, defeats, and draws. Overall, it has had two wins (2-1 vs Vizela; 1-0 vs Estoril), one draw (0-0 vs Rio Ave), and two losses (4-1 vs Porto; 4-1 vs Braga).
In these games, they scored five goals and conceded nine. Undoubtedly, the defense is an issue that the team must improve in a hurry. The players who stood up for the team and scored were Alexandre Penetra, Ivan Jaime, Rui Fonte, Santiago Colombatto, and Leandro Sanca.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Luíz Junior; Martín Aguirregabiria, Riccieli, Enea Mihaj; Grancisco Moura, Zaydou Youssouf, Gustavo Sá, Santiago Colombatto, Alex Dobre; Jhonder Cádiz, Ivo Rodrigues.
Betting on Gil Vicente
On the other hand, Gil Vicente has won five matches, drawn four, and lost ten, similar numbers to Famalicão’s, but is in 15th position due to the extra win of its next rival. In terms of goals, they have scored 19 and conceded 27, so they have a -8 goal difference and 19 points in the table, tied with Estoril Praia.
Additionally, their last five results were, in general terms, the same as Famalicão’s: they had two defeats (1-0 vs Boavista; 2-1 vs Paços Ferreira), one draw (1-1 vs Arouca), and two wins (2-1 vs Vitória Guimarães; 1-3 vs Casa Pia). This leaves them with an imminent need to win if they are to avoid Santa Clara nipping at their heels and moving away from the possibility of playing in the relegation playoffs.
The players who scored goals in these five games were Vitor Carvalho, Fran Navarro, and Ali Alipour. Almost all of them have scored more than once and are key players for the match against Famalicão.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Stanislav Kritsyuk; Adrián Marín, Tomás Araújo, Manuel Lopes, Carraça; Giorgi Aburjania, Vitor Carvalho, Ali Alipour; Kanya Fujimoto, Murilo de Souza, Fran Navarro.
JefeBet Prediction
On a general level, both teams in the Famalicão vs Gil Vicente match have very similar records: they have won and lost the same number of matches in the last few rounds of the Primeira Liga and have also scored a very similar number of goals. For this reason, we believe that the match will be tied.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
