Gil Vicente host Famalicão in Liga Portugal on Sunday, 1 February 2026 at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, with fifth playing seventh and only two points between them in the top half.

These sides drew 0-0 in August, and another tight game would fit the wider trend. Both have been hard to break down this season, with Gil Vicente conceding 16 goals in 19 matches and Famalicão 14.

Form points to a close contest. Gil Vicente's 3-0 defeat at Porto came after a four-game unbeaten run of one win and three draws. Famalicão have rebounded from three straight league losses with back-to-back victories, including a 3-0 home win over Tondela.

Routes to goal could hinge on forwards and delivery. Pablo De Jesus has 10 league goals for Gil Vicente, while Luis Esteves leads their supply line with five assists. For Famalicão, Gustavo Sá and Yassir Zabiri have four league goals each, with Gil Dias on four assists and Sorriso adding three. Across the season, both teams have scored 24 times. Famalicão have enjoyed slightly more of the ball at 51% possession and 81.12% pass accuracy, while wide service from both flanks may be decisive given their open-play crossing volumes.

A home win would take Gil Vicente to 34 points and could move them into the top four. Victory for Famalicão would lift them to 32 points and they could overtake their hosts, tightening an already congested top half.
