Gil Vicente vs Benfica Predictions

• Gil Vicente are in poor form with four defeats in their last six and only one goal scored.
• Benfica have won six of their last seven away league games and kept clean sheets in all of them.

Eagles can land another win with a clean sheet

Benfica’s bottle is being tested in the final weeks of the season, but Roger Schmidt’s side are solid enough to get a win away at struggling Gil Vicente on Saturday.

The Eagles came through a similar test against Estoril last weekend, albeit with a few nervy moments, to get back on track after suffering a case of title jitters. They remain top of the pile with five games to go and have an excellent away record this season.

Six victories in their last seven road trips have all been accompanied by clean sheets and this should be another against a club who have failed to score in each of their last five matches.

Roosters rarely ship more than a couple at home

The Roosters remain in relegation trouble after a six-game winless run and they do appear to be a very streaky side. Hence, Benfica must be backed for the win and a 2-0 scoreline looks good for correct score bets too.

The Lisbon giants have scored 14 goals across their last seven away games and conceded just the once during that run. Gil Vicente have not scored in five overall, including their last two at home, but have not shipped more than two goals in any of their 14 previous home assignments.
