Our Prediction for Gil Vicente vs Benfica Match
The team from Barcelos had a rather confident previous season. They were not competing for anything serious but finished safely in twelfth place with 36 points. The capital grand tried to retain the title but ultimately lost the race to their neighbor Sporting last spring.
This season, Benfica managed to change their coach, win the League Cup trophy, and exit the Champions League in the round of 16, losing to Barcelona without a chance. However, there is still something to fight for. The team will play against modest Tirsense in the Portuguese Cup semi-final. Most importantly, they are once again competing with Sporting for the Primeira title, trailing by three points with a game in hand. The hosts of the arena entered spring off form: they have one point in their last seven league rounds and a 0-1 cup loss to Sporting.
Cesar Peixoto's squad is slightly missing the mark with one goal per round, conceding 1.5 times more. The vice-champion's ratio, at present, is impressive - 2.36/0.8.
