Confidence

Gil Vicente have opened the season with two wins from two games without conceding a single goal, while Famalicao remain winless across their first three league matches (1 draw, 2 losses). Given Famalicao's modest scoring rate of 0.7 goals per game and Gil Vicente's defensive solidity, backing the visitors to secure at least a point via the double chance market offers strong coverage.
