Gil Vicente will invite Moreirense to the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos in the Primeira Liga on Friday. The visitors have enjoyed a 100% record in the league thus far and are third in the league standings. Gilistas, meanwhile, have just one win to their name.
The hosts had begun their campaign with a win, but are winless in their last two games. In their previous outing, they were held to a goalless draw by Famalicao, failing to score for the second match in a row.
The Green and whites maintained their winning start to the season last week with a 1-0 away triumph over Santa Clara. Guilherme Schettine Guimarães's eight-minute strike was enough for them to record a narrow win while keeping their second consecutive clean sheet.
