📋 Team News: Gil Vicente

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Gil Vicente gaffer Vítor Oliveira to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Henrique Gomes (Unknown Injury) is out of contention.

We are thinking that Gilistas could go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, utilising Denis, Rúben Fernandes, Ygor Nogueira, Rodrigão, Alex Pinto, William Soares da Silva, Claude Goncalves, Ruben Ribeiro, Bozhidar Kraev, Lourency and Sandro Lima.

📰 Team News: Tondela

Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Tondela manager Natxo González to be concerned with. Cláudio Ramos (Muscle Injury) won’t be playing here. Xavier cannot play in this game through suspension.

We are inclined to think that Auriverdes seem most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 system, giving starts to Babacar Niasse Mbaye, Fahd Moufi, Philipe Sampaio, Yohan Tavares, Ricardo Miguel Martins Alves, Pedro Augusto, Pepelu, João Lamine Jaquité, Jonathan Rubio, Ronan David Jeronimo and Jhon Murillo.

✨ Prediction

In our view, Tondela could find themselves up against it to register a score against this Gil Vicente side who should score & stay on top.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning score for Gil Vicente at the conclusion of the game.

Expecting it to be tight.
