Gil Vicente form and stats

Gil Vicente's results here at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos in the Primeira Liga have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Vicente shared the glory with Moreirense in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. The talented striker Samuel Lino outperformed all others in that match and managed a match rating of 8.0 out of 10. Lino scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 5 of 6 times.

Heartbreak before that as Gil Vicente lost 0-1 at Leca's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Vicente perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Gil Vicente as a small favourite), we find nine games. Gil Vicente has won two of these, drawn five and lost two.

Gil Vicente are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Vicente have conceded 8 in these home matches.

The manager I. Abreu Vieira was unhappy after their last game, a Primeira Liga match played at their home ground Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho. Famalicão suffered a 0-3 loss to Portimonense (placed 5th). Midfield player Ivo Rodrigues was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.34/10. Rodrigues hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Prior to that result Famalicão won their away game at Alverca in the Taça De Portugal. The scoreline was 2-1.
