Gil Vicente will try to recover from a 2-1 loss to Benfica when they welcome Estrela to their Estadio Cidade de Barcelos on Matchday 8. Following three consecutive wins in Primeira Liga, Os Galos failed to spoil Benfica’s party at Estadio da Luz, but their performance was anything but poor. Brazilian defender Santos Hevertton serves a one-game ban, while in-form forward Joelson Fernandes is pushing for a recall to the starting XI. Os Tricolores, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-0 win over AFS. Estrela aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but given Gil Vicente’s fine form in September, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in Saturday’s encounter. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Kikas, who scored a brace against AFS, while Oumar Ngom misses out through suspension.
