Gil Vicente welcome Estoril Praia to the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos for a league match in the Portuguese Primeira Liga after the international break. The sides each endured slow starts in their four league games before the recent break and will now aim to bounce back with a victory. The two teams are tied on three points at the bottom end of the league table. After their 13th-placed finish in the Primeira Liga last season, 11 points clear of the drop zone, Gil Vicente again set out for a safe mid-table finish and a potential top-half fight this time around, under the new management of Vitor Campelos. They were beaten 1-0 in their last outing by FC Vizela to continue their losing streak. After a goalless first half, Matheus Pereira put their hosts ahead in the 56th minute, with Os Gilistas unable to level the scores and again returning home empty-handed as a result. Meanwhile, Estoril also lost 1-2 to Boavista in their last outing. Despite Alejandro Marques drawing them level around the half-hour mark, Estoril Praia would again come away empty-handed as Tiago Morais restored the visitors' lead and the league leaders held on for a victory. For this encounter, I am expecting a win or a draw for Estoril for the following reasons:

Firstly. The home team come into this, though, on the back of a continuation of their poor form before the international break. Following a first-round exit from the Taca da Liga at the hands of Oliveirense, Gil Vicente enjoyed a dream start to the top-flight campaign in mid-August, as they hosted Portimonense in their curtain-raiser and dished out a 5-0 thrashing. They were however unable to build on that encouraging platform under their new boss, and headed into the international break on the back of three straight defeats in the next three league outings.

Secondly. Estoril are one of a group of sides to gain promotion to the top-flight and then quickly establish themselves in the middle-of-the-table. They finished in the bottom-half last season but will be hoping to build on that this time around having replaced former Benfica coach Nelson Verissimo with Alvaro Pacheco, who performed magnificently well with the aforementioned Chaves. They have started the new campaign with some interesting, entertaining but ultimately frustrating matches so far. On the opening day, after leading three times in the match, they suffered a 4-3 loss to Arouca before beating Rio Ave by two goals to nil.

Both teams have had the international break to regroup after tough starts and will see Sunday as a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. While the sides are relatively evenly-matched, the attacking signs that the visitors have showed so far this season lead me to believe that they can get a win or a draw from this fixture.

吉尔·维森特欢迎普拉亚在国际比赛日结束后来到巴塞罗那的Cidade de Barcelos球场观看一场葡甲联赛。这两支球队在最近的四场联赛中都经历了缓慢的开局，现在他们的目标是以一场胜利反弹。两队在积分榜上并列三分。上赛季他们在西甲联赛中排名第13位，距离降级区有11分的差距，吉尔·维森特再次在新教练维托尔·坎佩洛斯的带领下，开始了安全的中游和可能的上半区争夺战。他们在上一场比赛中0 - 1输给了维泽拉，延续了他们的连败。上半场一球未进，佩雷拉在第56分钟帮助东道主取得领先，但吉尔斯塔斯未能扳平比分，结果再次空手而归。与此同时，埃斯托里尔在上一场比赛中也以1-2不敌博阿维斯塔。尽管亚历桑德罗·马奎斯在半小时左右将比分扳平，但埃斯托里尔·普拉亚再次空手而归，蒂亚戈·莫莱斯恢复了客队的领先优势，联赛领头羊继续争取胜利。对于这场比赛，我希望埃斯托里尔能赢或平，原因如下:

首先。然而，主队在国际比赛日之前的糟糕状态下进入了这一阶段。在首轮被橄榄球队淘汰后，吉尔·维森特在8月中旬迎来了一个梦幻般的顶级联赛开局，他们在首场比赛中主场迎战波尔蒂莫内斯，并以5:0大胜对手。然而，在新主帅的带领下，他们没能在这个鼓舞人心的平台上再接再厉，在接下来的三场联赛中，他们以三连败的战绩进入了国际比赛日。

其次。埃斯托里尔是一群获得顶级联赛晋升，然后迅速确立自己在中游地位的球队之一。上个赛季，他们在联赛中排名下半，但他们希望在这个赛季用帕切科取代了前本菲卡的主教练尼尔森·韦里西莫，帕切科在前面提到的查韦斯队中表现出色。到目前为止，他们已经开始了一些有趣，有趣但最终令人沮丧的比赛。在首场比赛中，在三次领先后，他们以4-3输给了阿鲁卡，然后以2比0击败了里约大道。

在艰难的开局后，两支球队都有国际比赛日来重新整装，他们将把周日视为重回胜利之路的好机会。虽然两队势均力敌，但客队本赛季迄今为止表现出的进攻迹象让我相信他们可以在这场比赛中取得一胜或一平。
