Gil Vicente
PortugalCurrent form
For objective reasons, Gil Vicente was unable to set more ambitious goals than maintaining their place in the Primeira Liga. For now, Bruno Pinheiro team is coping with it and is in 10th place in the table, with 16 points to its credit. However, the Roosters are only four points clear of the relegation zone, and such a handicap does not allow them to relax. Having beaten Farense 1-0 in the last round, Gil Vicente won their second victory in a row.

PortugalCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Sporting was considered the main contender for the championship title and played the opening segment at a very high level.

1.27Tip and bets
Sporting broke their losing streak in the last round and made it to the quarter-finals of the Cup this week – the Lions are gradually coming to their senses. It is obvious that today the visitors will only strive for victory in an attempt to return to the first line in the table. Sporting definitely have a chance of success – Gil Vicente is seriously inferior in class and has problems with stability, it makes sense to give preference to the motivated favorite.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) for Sporting . This bet is offered with odds of 1.99
Bet on total
Sporting will undoubtedly be counting on all three points today and will certainly put serious pressure on their opponents' goal in the first half. Gil Vicente is significantly inferior in class and is unlikely to be able to withstand such an onslaught, but the Roosters play openly and have scored against Benfica and Braga this season, so they are quite capable of responding with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.81
Bet on corners
Sporting are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Sporting. This bet is offered for 1.79
