Command Analysis
Benfica
At the start of the season, the team is fighting for first place with Porto and Sporting, but so far it occupies the second line with 13 points in the asset and is two points behind the leaders of the dragons. It should be noted that the Reds are the most productive club in Portugal with 18 goals scored. In the last round, Marc Silva's team defeated Moreirense (4:0), and earlier Maritimu (3:0). Benfica starts in the Europa League next week and has a high chance of a place in the 1/8 finals.
Gil Vicente
The team is showing good results in the Portuguese championship and at this stage is in a high seventh place in the standings with seven points in the asset. In the last round, Cesar Peixote's team suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 0-1 to Akademika Viseu. Earlier, Gil Vicente failed to beat Famalikan (0-0) and is on a two-match unbeaten streak.
The home club is in great shape and will not allow itself to play against the average player of the championship not in its favor.Gil Vicente is inferior in class to his opponent, but at the same time he can cause trouble, but not today. And in face-to-face matches, the Reds won five matches in a row, and three wins in these games were by three or more goals.In our opinion,Silva's team will take advantage of a more experienced squad and achieve a crushing victory.
