Gil Vicente welcome Benfica at Municipal de Barcelos, Barcelos on Sunday, Feb 21 at 6:00 PM in a Primeira Liga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Gil Vicente come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 0L). Benfica travel in mixed form (1W 1D 0L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Gil Vicente face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Benfica have won 9 of 10 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Benfica won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Gil Vicente a slight edge, but Benfica are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
