ℹ️ Team News: Famalicão

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Famalicão boss João Pedro Sousa to be concerned with from a near full-strength squad. Henrique Araújo (Ankle injury) is sidelined.

In all likelihood, Famalicenses look set to employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game and select Luiz Junior, Nathan Santos, Riccieli, Enea Mihaj, Francisco Moura, Mirko Topic, Zaydou Youssouf, Sorriso, Gustavo Sa, Chiquinho and Jhonder Cadiz.

🗞️ Team News: Vizela

From a largely healthy group, there is just the sole fitness issue for the Vizela manager Rubén de la Barrera to contend with. Francesco Ruberto (Muscle injury) won’t be in action.

We reckon that Vizela appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-2-1 formation, choosing Fabijan Buntic, Jota Goncalves, Anderson, Orest Lebedenko, Tomas Silva, Matheus Pereira, Samu, Diogo Nascimento, Quina, Matias Lacava and Samuel Essende.

✨ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Famalicão certainly have the ability to score a couple of goals when they face Vizela, who will be up against it to break down their defence.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 2-0 margin for Famalicão by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
