Benfica, Recent FormIn their last match Benfica enforced their superiority over Estrela Amadora with a 4-1 away win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target, in contrast to Estrela Amadora, who had 10 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's clear that Roger Schmidt, their manager, will be very satisfied with his side's performance over the last 6 matches, a spell which has seen them notch up 17 goals and only give 2 away. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches, and they've scored in 18 of their 19 games this season.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 6 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 18 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Benfica, Rafa Silva will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Gil Vicente, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Vitória Guimarães in their last league game, Gil Vicente will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Vitória Guimarães' tally of 10 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Vítor Campelos will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 8 of their 9 away league games.
Goalscorer Laurindo Depú will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Gil Vicente.
It was one to forget for Gil Vicente last time they met Benfica in the league, falling to a 2-3 defeat.
Benfica will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Gilistas, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 18 meetings between the two.
Gil Vicente have lost the last 3 times they've faced Benfica in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
With only Juan Bernat (Muscle) and Casper Tengstedt (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Roger Schmidt will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Gil Vicente manager Vítor Campelos ahead of this clash, with Kiko Vilas Boas (Knee) missing out, which gives Campelos a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
