Gil Vicente:
After a rather slow start, the cast of Gil Vicente has begun to come back and move away from the relegation zone, and this has been made clear in his last games.
Recall that their last match was a away draw to a goal against Moreirense, thus adding a streak of three games without losing, where we have to include the victory via penalties against Oleiros for the Third Round of the Taca de Portugal.
Of course, Gil Vicente knows that he cannot breathe completely calm, since he still has the relegation zone very closely, since they add nine points in the same number of games, only two points more than the Portimonense and Marítimo coleros, as well that this Sunday he has to continue for the comeback and beware that taking into account his participation last season, Gil Vicente has lost only one of his last eight games at home for the Primeira Liga, although a fact to take into account is that he faced lower level teams than the Águilas de Benfica.
Possible alienation: Denis; Ruben Fernandes, Rodrigao, Ygor Nogueira; Talocha, Claude Goncalves, Lucas Mineiro, Joel Vieira Pereira; Antoine Leautey, Samuel Lino, Lourency Rodrigues.
Benfica:
For their part, those led by Jorge Jesus are having a good time both locally and internationally.
Thus, the Eagles have just qualified for the last 16 of the Europa League, while in the Primeira Liga they took advantage of Sporting Lisboa’s draw to cut the gap with their victory against Pacos Ferreira.
Now last they beat Villafranquese 5-0 in the Fourth Round of the Taca de Portugal and repeated the story against Vitoria Guimaraes in the First Round of the Taca da Liga. With these results the Eagles extended to eight official games without falling.
Regarding their performance in the Primeira Liga, the Eagles have just won their last two games and want to continue like this against a Gil Vicente whom they have beaten in the last four direct games with a 9-0 aggregate.
Possible lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos; Nuno Tavares, Jan Vertonghen, Nicolas Otamendi, Gilberto; Everton, Julian Weigl, Adel Taarabt, Rafa Silva; Luca Waldschmidt, Pizzi.
PREDICTION: Benfica to win @ 1,41
