The Estádio Cidade de Barcelos is the venue for a Primeira Liga encounter on Monday evening as Gil Vicente takes on Santa Clara.
While Gil Vicente comes into this fixture in high spirits after a resounding road victory at Alverca last weekend, Santa Clara returns to league action after a disastrous Taça da Liga defeat at Braga during the week.
The visitors claimed a narrow 1:0 win when these sides last met at this venue, and a similarly hard-fought contest is expected on Sunday evening.

Gil Vicente team overview
Gil Vicente make the trip to Estádio Cidade de Barcelos in great form after a commanding 4:0 win against Alverca last weekend. Pablo Felipe maintained his excellent start to the season with his seventh goal of the campaign helping Cesar Peixoto's men to an impressive road victory.
The Gallos have been in fine form since the start of the Primeira Liga season, picking up six wins while losing just two of nine matches played. Gil Vicente now sit fourth in the division, eight points clear of Santa Clara.
A low-scoring encounter seems likely this weekend, with Gil Vicente having kept clean sheets in six of their last eight matches, while only two of their last 11 games finished with both teams scoring. Just two of their nine most recent games finished with three goals or more scored.
Head coach Peixoto has two confirmed absentees for Monday´s Primeira Liga matchup. Mohamed Bamba remains sidelined with long-term injury issues, while Luís Esteves is suspended.

Santa Clara team overview
Santa Clara comes into Monday's matchup looking to bounce back from a 5:0 defeat against Braga in their Taça da Liga contest last Wednesday.
A poor run of form has seen the visitors lose three, while failing to win four of their last five matches across all competitions. Santa Clara also failed to win six of nine league games this season, including three of four away fixtures.
Short in attacking quality, the visitors have scored just three goals in four road matches this season, while two of their last three away fixtures finished with under 2.5 goals scored.
Head coach Vasco Matos has a fully fit squad to choose from this weekend. Lucas Soares is set to return to the side after missing the midweek defeat at Braga.
