Famalicao aim to climb out of the relegation zone by extending their formidable home run against a Gil Vicente side currently occupying a continental qualification spot.
Famalicao enter this Minho derby sitting 14th with just one point, desperately needing a result to escape the early-season relegation scrap. Despite their league position, Hugo Oliveira's side boasts a flawless recent home record, having gone nine league matches without defeat at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao, including six wins in that period.
Gil Vicente occupy 5th place with six points and are currently holding a European qualification berth. While Cesar Peixoto’s men secured back-to-back wins against Casa Pia and Rio Ave, they recently struggled on the road, failing to score in a 2-0 defeat to Porto which ended a five-game scoring streak.
