Famalicao vs Gil Vicente: Prediction for the Match on August 24, 2025

Famalicao will welcome Gil Vicente to the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao in the third round of the Primeira Liga. Who's going to come out on top? Let us check out the match preview, team news, and betting odds to place your bets!

Famalicao: Form and Statistics

Famalicao currently finds itself in the top four in the Primeira Liga standings. So far, they have managed to win their first two league games. A win here could see them maintain their position.

Hugo Oliveira's men began the campaign with a comfortable 3-0 home victory against Santa Clara. Rodrigo Pinheiro, Gil Dias, and Gustavo Sa were on target for the home team in that match.

Famalicenses managed to build on that result as a trip to Estadio Municipal de Rio Maior to lock horns with Tondela resulted in a hard-fought 1-0 victory. Simon Elisor was the savior in that match thanks to his effort in the 69th minute.

Famalicao: Team News

Famalicao's 4-2-3-1 setup has been working quite well for them, and head coach Hugo Oliveira is likely to stick to the same formation this Sunday.

Simon Elisor will spearhead the attack once again, while Sorriso and Gil Dias are expected to provide support from the wings. At the heart of defense, Justin De Haas and Leonardo Realpe are once again expected to form a partnership and maintain stability at the back.

In the injury room, the home team is still without the services of Oscar Aranda, who has now missed the first two Primeira Liga games because of a cruciate ligament injury. Rochinha is also another player set to miss out, with the 30-year-old forward ruled out as inactive.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Carevic; Pinheiro, Realpe, De Haas, Rafa Soares; Van de Looi, De Amorim; Gil Dias, Sa, Sorriso; Elisor.

⛔️ Out: Oscar Aranda (cruciate ligament injury), Rochinha (inactive).

👤 Head coach: Hugo Oliveira.

Gil Vicente: Form and Statistics

Gil Vicente made a positive start to the 2025-26 Primeira Liga season. In their opening match, they had no trouble seeing off the threat of Nacional da Madeira away from home. Two goals in the first half from Pablo and Luis Esteves set the team up for a comfortable 2-0 victory.

Replicating that same result was going to be an arduous task, as their next fixture involved clashing with Portuguese powerhouse FC Porto. It was a taste of their own medicine as they fell to a convincing 2-0 home defeat. 

Entering this match, they aim to restore their confidence and get back into the winning column. However, considering their run in this fixture, they are 90 minutes away from recording another unfavorable outcome. Cesar Peixoto's men are winless in their last four encounters against Famalicao, and three of those outings ended in defeat.

Gil Vicente: Team News

Gil Vicente is set to be without Jose Carlos Natario Ferreira (aka Ze Carlos), who sustained an injury last time out against FC Porto. The 23-year-old defender was forced out seven minutes into the second half. Mohamed Bamba is likely to get the nod.

In defense, Ze Carlos is set to start this match off the bench. He replaces Santos Hevertton.

The visitors are still without Carlos Eduardo and Tidjany Toure, who remain inactive.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): da Silva Ventura; Konan, Buatu, Elimbi, Ze Carlos; Bamba, Caseres; Fernandez, Esteves, Bermejo; Pablo.

⛔️ Out: Jose Carlos Natario Ferreira (injury), Carlos Eduardo (inactive), Tidjany Toure inactive).

👤 Head coach: Cesar Peixoto.

Famalicao's strong record in this fixture makes them favorites to secure maximum points and their third straight league win. At the moment, they are riding high on confidence, and I'm expecting them to come out on top.

Gil Vicente is going to find it hard to secure a win in this one. In the previous season, they failed to win in two encounters, recording one draw and one defeat. However, for this particular match, I'm rooting for the home team to win either half. This has been the case in each of their last four meetings against Gil Vicente.
