Gil Vicente vs Benfica Prediction and Betting Tips | April 29, 2023

Fourteenth-placed Gil Vicente welcome league leaders Benfica to the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in the Primeira Liga on Saturday (April 29).

The hosts are winless in six outings and have suffered defeats in their last two. Vicente failed to score in their previous outing in a 1-0 loss at Portimonense.

Meanwhile, Benfica returned to winning ways after four games as a Nicolas Otamendi's 44th-minute striker helped them beat Estoril Praia at home. They're four points ahead of reigning champions Porto.

Benfica cannot afford to drop points with just five games left. With just the league title left to play for following their UEFA Champions League elimination earlier this month, they should focus all their energy towards sealing the league.
