- Competition: Primeira Liga
- Date: 28th March, 2025
- Kickoff: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CET
- Venue: Estádio Cidade de Barcelos
With a win against Gil Vicente at the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos on Friday evening, Benfica could draw level on points with city rivals Sporting in the Primeira Liga table.
The home side have performed very poorly in recent matchdays, losing 7 of their last 8 games, including 3 consecutive defeats at home. Conversely, Benfica are giving their bitter rivals Sporting no time to breathe in the fight for the Primeira Liga title, having won 6 league games in a row.
Gil Vicente - Benfica Betting Tips: Benfica to Win
With Gil Vicente still embroiled in a relegation battle and Benfica demanding everything from bitter city rivals Sporting in the fight for the Primeira Liga title, there is no doubt that the latter will be the clear favourites to win on Friday. Benfica have been in excellent form in the Primeira Liga in recent weeks, winning 6 games in a row, 3 of them away from home. Gil Vicente, on the other hand, have fared much worse over the same period, losing 7 of their last 8 league games. We expect Benfica to win on Friday and go level on points with Sporting in the Primeira Liga standings at least for the next 24 hours.
