Gil Vicente and Famalicao bring round 22 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga to an end when they lock horns at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos on Monday. The Vila Nova head into the game unbeaten in their last three games against the hosts and will be looking to extend this fine run.
Gil Vicente failed to pull clear of the Primeira Liga danger zone as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Braga at the Estadio Braga Municipal last Sunday.
Bruno Pinheiro’s men have lost their last three outings, conceding five goals and scoring just once since a surprise 3-1 victory over Porto on January 19.
Gil Vicente have picked up 22 points from their 21 Primeira Liga matches so far to sit 14th in the standings, just three points above the relegation playoff spot.
Elsewhere, Famalicao were denied consecutive victories for the first time since August as they played out a goalless draw with Vitoria de Guimaraes last time out.
Before that, the Vila Nova snapped their run of 10 back-to-back games without a win in all competitions on January 31 courtesy of a 2-0 victory over Boavista at the Estadio do Bessa.
With 25 points from 21 matches, Famalicao are currently 11th in the Primeira Liga standings but could move into ninth place with all three points on Monday.
