4 years ago 503

Gil Vicente make a trip to the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques to face Vitoria de Guimaraes on Sunday, having already confirmed their spot in next season’s Conference League.

Meanwhile, the hosts head into the game on a run of three consecutive draws and will be looking to return to winning ways and finish their 2021-22 Primeira Liga campaign on a high.

Vitoria Guimaraes were involved in a shameful share of the spoils for the third game in a row when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Boavista at the Estadio do Bessa last Friday.

In a game where Abdul Mumin picked up a red card, Oscar Estupinan scored in the 25th minute to put the visitors ahead heading into the interval before Paul-Georges Ntep scored in the 70th minute to force a split of points.

Pepa’s side are now unbeaten in each of their last four matches, picking up one win and three draws since a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Porto when the sides squared off on April 10.

On the other hand, Gil Vicente returned to winning ways and confirmed their Conference League ticket last time out when they saw off Tondela 3-0 at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos.

Following a dull first half, the game sparked to life in the 56th minute when Kanya Fujimoto opened the scoring before Samuel Lino netted twice in a 13-minute duration to cap off a superb team performance.

Prior to that, Gil Vicente were on a run of six matches without a win, losing three and picking up three draws , while scoring six goals and conceding 11 in that period.

Ricardo Soares’ side have secured the second Conference League ticket as they sit second in the league standings with 51 points from 33 games, six points above Sunday’s hosts.
