ℹ️ Team News: Gil Vicente

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Gil Vicente manager César Peixoto to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Yaya Sithole (Tibia and fibula fracture) will miss out.

It’s our opinion that Gilistas look set to use the 4-2-3-1 system this time with Andrew, Ze Carlos, Marvin Gilbert, Jonathan Buatu, Jonathan Mutombo, Mohamed Bamba, Facundo Caseres, Felix Correia, Santi Garcia, Joao Marques and Pablo.

📋 Team News: Arouca

Thanks to a mainly healthy group, there is just the lone fitness problem for the Arouca manager Vasco Seabra to contend with. Nino Galović (unknown injury) won’t be in action.

It’s our belief that Arouca appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Joao Valido, Alex Pinto, Boris Popovic, Chico Lamba, Weverson, Pedro Santos, Pedro Moreira, Brian Mansilla, Guven Yalcin, Morlaye Sylla and Dylan Nandin.

💭 Prediction

In our view, Arouca have it within them to put a goal past this Gil Vicente lineup, although that is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We can see a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Gil Vicente by the conclusion of the game. Should be an interesting one.
