After the defeat by Porto (0:2), Gil Vicente picked up four points in their subsequent two Primeira appearances. First, they beat Maritimo 2:1 on the road and then drew at home to Rio Ave. In the last meeting, the teams scored two goals each. Gil Vicente is tenth in the Premiership table with nine points.

In recent seasons the games between Sporting and Gil Vicente have been tense, with many fouls and at least six cards awarded. We believe this trend will continue. Gil Vicente will try to take advantage of specific problems in Sporting's ranks; the hosts are unconvincing in defense in the Primeira matches (10 conceded goals in 7 games). We can also bet on Sporting to win.
