Gil Vicente boss Daniel Sousa has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Ali Alipour (Unknown Injury) and Stanislav Kritsyuk (Unknown Injury) will not be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Gilistas appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Andrew, Ze Carlos, Manuel Lopes, Tomas Araujo, Henrique Gomes, Carvalho, Giorgi Aburjania, Murilo, Kanya Fujimoto, Bilel Aouacheria and Fran.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Vitória Guimarães have it within them to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

In contrast, Gil Vicente won’t find it easy to get a goal of their own but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.

We can therefore see a comfortable 3-1 victory for Vitória Guimarães after 90 minutes.
