Benfica continue unbeaten since the start of the season and despite the draw against Rio Ave in the last round, they remain among the most solid teams in the league. Their defense has only conceded three goals so far, highlighting how difficult it is to break through. Now they face a test against Gil Vicente, which will not be an easy one, but at home Benfica rarely gives gifts.
Gil Vicente with a solid defenseThe opponent comes in good form – they have not conceded a goal in four consecutive matches, and this certainly boosts the team's confidence. Additionally, they have three consecutive victories in the championship, which shows that they are on an upward trend. However, the tradition against Benfica is entirely against them – the Lisbon team has won the last six direct encounters, and at home, they consistently score at least a few goals against this opponent.
Prediction: Benfica to win to nilAlthough Gil Vicente seems stabilized in defense, Benfica's quality should tip the scales. I expect the hosts to impose control over the match and find a way to the net while keeping their goal intact.
