Famalicao vs AFS Prediction & Betting Tips (9 February)

Famalicao thought he would achieve 3 victories in a row in the championship but that was without counting on the trip to Gil Vicente on the previous day, lost long, wide and across 5-0. Before that, Famalicao had won Santa Clara 0-1 and Tondela 3-0, two successes which stopped a series of 3 defeats in a row against Alverca 1-0, Estrela 2-3 and Benfica 1-0. This Famalicao team is 8th and sorely lacks the consistency to claim a spot in the top 4-5. On the other hand, the challenge is simple for AFS, to win its first match in the league this season. You would have understood, AFS collected 5 points via five draws for a chaotic record of 15 defeats.

The latest, no later than the previous day, at home for the reception of Braga 0-4. A defeat which followed the draw gleaned at Casa Pia and with merit, since the visiting team was down three goals to nothing. Quite logically, AFS occupies last place in the ranking and relegation seems to be its only outcome. Last week as part of a quarter-final of the Portuguese Cup, AFS thought it would achieve the feat by taking on the defending champion, Sporting, at home, but ultimately had to lose after extra time 3-2. 

During the debacle at Gil Vicente, we would tend to say that the exclusion of midfielder De Amorim was the main reason for the manita since the first goal arrived after the expulsion. The latter will quite logically serve his red this evening while elements like Oscar Aranda (9 goals, 3 assists last season) and Rochina are injured and out. Midfielder Gustavo Sa (21 years old, 4 league goals this season) will not miss this meeting, just like Gil Dias (3 goals, 4 assists in the league) and Sorriso (3 goals, 3 assists).

Let us remember that Famalicao lost the Moroccan Yassir Zabiri (4 goals) transferred to Rennes for 10 million euros.
