Casa Pia set out in search of a third consecutive victory when they visit the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos to face Gil Vicente in round six of the Primeira Liga on Sunday. The Gilistas head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their previous five games against the visitors and will be looking to extend this impressive eight-year streak. © Imago Gil Vicente were involved in a share of the spoils for the third consecutive game as they played out a 1-1 draw with Famalicao when the two sides squared off at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao last Saturday.
Spanish forward Mario Gonzalez opened the scoring in the 14th minute to put Famalicao in front but 23-year-old forward Felix Correia struck four minutes into the second half to force a share of the spoils. Having kicked off the season with a 3-0 defeat against Porto at the Estadio do Dragao on August 10, Gil Vicente bounced back one week later when they picked up a 4-2 victory over AVS before playing out consecutive stalemates against Estoril Praia, Braga and Famalicao. Bruno Pinheiro 's men now return home, where they have managed just two wins from their last nine Primeira Liga matches while losing three and claiming four draws since the start of February.
Casa Pia, on the other hand, turned in a fine show of fighting spirit last Saturday when they fought back from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over Moreirense at the Estadio Pina Manique. After falling behind to Madson Silva 's 35th-minute opener, the hosts upped the ante afte.
