AVS will entertain Gil Vicente at Estádio Clube Desportivo das Aves in the Primeira Liga on Monday. The hosts will once again seek to reverse their misfortunes, while the visitors will push to cover lost ground.

AVS vs Gil Vicente Preview

AVS are winless in their last 12 matches in all competitions, including 10 in the Primeira Liga. They sit second from bottom with 15 points, having won twice and drawn nine times in 17 matches. The crisis led to the dismissal of head coach Vítor Campelos late last year, with Daniel Ramos coming on board.

The hosts are the newest club in the league – 20 months old – and are plying their trade in the top flight for the first time. They earned promotion via the Liga Portugal 2 play-offs last season, but the experience has been unpalatable so far. Based on the strength of the current squad, reviving their campaign appears to be nearly impossible.

Gil Vicente dropped six points in their last five matches, which kept them stagnated in mid-table after 18 rounds of matches. They sit in the 10th spot on 22 points following five wins and seven draws. With two wins in their last two matches, the visitors seem to be back on their feet.

Gilistas finished 12th out of 18 teams last season, and are still in search of their first top-flight title. They could leap two places if they claim maximum points against AVS but reaching the qualification zone for a UEFA spot could prove difficult. The top guns Sporting, Benfica, Porto and Braga currently occupy those spots.
