StevieDay1983 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Gil Vicente vs Benfica The Portuguese action extends into the Monday for this weekend's round of games. I'm focusing on Gil Vicente versus Benfica in a 7:30pm GMT kick-off at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos. The home side are simply looking to consolidate their place in the middle of the table after earning promotion last season and the away side are locked firmly in a two horse race for the title with rivals Porto. Gil Vicente fans will be happy if their team can just stay up this season. As it stands, Vitor Oliveira's men are doing just that in 11th place and 11 points clear of the relegation zone. Relegation does seem a very unlikely outcome but they'll relish the big games like this because that's what plying Primeira Liga football is all about. Just 1 defeat from their 10 league games at home is a decent return for a newly promoted side. Inconsistent form recently has stunted their progress but they'll just be keen to be competitive here and hold out for as long as possible. Benfica know a win will take them back to the top of the table. Manager Bruno Lage's side are 2 points behind current league leaders Porto but possess a game in hand. Benfica have won 9 of their 10 away league games this season so they'll feel they can and should take all 3 points from this game. The only issue being is that they've suffered back-to-back defeats. Granted, those losses came away to Porto and at home to Braga but how much will it have affected them mentally? Is the pressure getting to the players? I think this game is done and dusted. Lage will be demanding a return to form after the two losses in the league to get their title aspirations back on track. I can see a more assured defensive display after a jittery pair of performances. Will we see goals galore? I don't think so. Gil Vicente have shown they are tough to break down at home so they'll make it difficult but the away side will just have too much quality and will be keen to make a point.

buga00 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Gil Vicente - Benfica 24 February 19:30 This will be a game of extreme importance for the closer future of Benfica in the championship, so it is expected that the team will give a good answer to the bad sequence of results with which it will reach Barcelos. It is true that Gil Vicente has a very interesting organization on both sides of the field, but technically he is behind the group of “eagles”, who will be forced to raise the exhibition level and reach the achievement of three points, because they will most likely enter field already out of the lead (for that not to happen, Porto would have to be beaten at home by Portimonense, the day before).
