Gil Vicente vs Famalicao Predictions

Gil Vicente have admitted defeat in seven of their preceding nine fixtures in the league. Also, on this ground, they have managed only a single win all year. To crown it all up, the Roosters are newcomers to the league and have not gotten accustomed to life in the Portuguese top-flight. As such, it is fair to say that the home side have been enduring a meagre season so far.

Taking all these into consideration, expect a routine Famalicao win come the sound of the final whistle. They should not even have to break a sweat to see off this relatively weaker opposition on Tuesday night.
