Prediction

In an 8-goal thriller, Gil Vicente FC ended up losing to Estoril by 5-3. Álvaro Pacheco's men have been playing a free-flowing attacking football but that hasn't quite worked out for them as they lost 4 of their first 5 Primeira Liga games.
FC Vizela were unable to upset SL Benfica last time around, losing 2-1 to last year's champions. They only got 4 points in their first few matches, which reflects their poor start to the season.
Neither side will be happy with their respective starts and are expected to seek for the win from the out set. A lot of goals are expected, with Estoril perhaps getting all three points.
