Famalicao vs Gil Vicente Predictions

• Four of Gil Vicente’s last five wins have come to nil
• Gil Vicente have only conceded 30 from 29 games this season
• Famalicao haven’t won in five games

Europe vs Relegation

Gil Vicente are battling to hold on to their seven point advantage for Europa League qualification when they visit Famalicao going into the final five games of the season, despite their poor form in recent games. Winning only one of their last five, they’ll look to this game as an opportunity to turn this around.

Famalicao, on the other hand, are looking to claw themselves away from the relegation zone, sitting only three points clear of Tondela. A win here could put distance between themselves and the drop, but with none in their last five, it’ll be a tough ask.

Gil Vicente giving out points

Gilistas have lost to both Arouca and Moreirense in their last two games, and both sides sit below Famalicao in the league. The home side will take inspiration from these results, and can gain confidence from their opponent’s shortcomings.

The away side, however, are still the heavy favourites going into the game, and the reverse fixture finished 4-0 in favour of the side chasing Europe.

Simon Banza will be the man Famalicao look to in this game. Their top scorer with eleven goals from twenty-three appearances, considerable distance ahead of their second-highest scorer on only three goals. Gil Vicente’s top scorer, Fran Navarro, has scored thirteen in his twenty-five goals this season, and although he is goalless in his last five, he’ll be looking for a return to form against what is a weaker side.
