The first match of the 26th stage of the Portuguese championship will take place on Tuesday, at the Cidade de Barcelos stadium, where Gil Vicente receives the visit of Famalicao.

Gil Vicente – A mediocre season

As expected, Gil Vincente will most likely finish the season in the middle of the standings. With nine stages before the end of the regular season, he is on the top ten with 30 points. Because of the relegation, he doesn’t have to worry, because he has an advance of 11 points. The previous stage played away to the penultimate ranked, Portmonense. It was a balanced match, which the hosts won at the limit. Lucas scored the only goal of the game, five minutes from the start of the second half. Vicente does better on his own field, where he has suffered only two defeats so far, but has drawn six times. Without the help of the public it will be extremely difficult for him to obtain a positive result. Brazilian Sandro Lima is the team’s top scorer with ten successes. Although he is the starting announcer for this match, his condition is uncertain, and in these conditions, he cannot evolve to 100%.

Famalicao – The surprise of the season

It is a newly promoted team in the First League. He hasn’t played at the highest level since 1994, but now he’s doing very well. Immediately after the promotion, the former second of Marco Silva, for seven years, Joao Pedro Sousa, accepted the position of head coach. At the beginning of the season, even in the first month, after not losing any match, the coach of the month was voted, and this trophy gave him the necessary confidence for this season. The results came, and at the moment, Famalicao is on the fifth place with 40 points and is only three points away from the Europa League places. In the last three stages he obtained some remarkable results. With Sporting, they won at home with 3-1, and the previous stage produced an enormous surprise, managing to win against FC Porto, with 2-1. After this result, Porto dropped to second place, and Benfica climbed the highest step of the podium. Vicente became an offensive team, scoring on the treadmill. For this reason, the defense is neglected, but this risk had to be assumed. Martins and Martinez are the team’s top scorers, with eight successes each.
