Benfica continue their pursuit of the top spot in the Primeira Liga with a visit to struggling Gil Vicente. After a dramatic 3-2 victory over Rio Ave in the last round, the team from Lisbon has now won six consecutive games in the championship and is only three points behind the leader Sporting. The team's form looks impressive, especially in attack, as the "eagles" demonstrate serious efficiency.
Gil Vicente in a winless streakGil Vicente lost 0-1 to Santa Clara in the last round and are now in a streak of seven games without a win. The team is in 14th place, but shares equal points with the 16th in the standings, which puts the hosts under serious pressure. Their defense concedes too easy goals, and against a team like Benfica, this rarely goes unpunished. In the last five matches between these opponents, Gil Vicente lost each one, with a goal difference of 4:16.
Bet on a Benfica winThe difference in class between the two teams is obvious, and the current form clearly tilts the scales in favor of the visitors. Considering that Benfica are on a streak of three consecutive away wins and are fighting for the title, a new success for them seems like the most likely outcome.
