Gil Vicente host Sporting at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos on Wednesday (April 5) in the Primeira Liga.
The hosts have had their struggles this season, finding themselves in the bottom half of the standings, but remain on course to avoid the drop. Gil Vicente lost 1-0 to Estoril Praia in their last outing, falling behind in the opening minute and failing to find their way back.
Sporting, meanwhile, are enjoying a good run of form and are well in the race for UEFA Champions League football. They registered a dominant 3-0 win over Santa Clara in their last game, with Paulinho, Francisco Trincao and Marcus Edwards getting on the scoresheet. The Lions are fourth in the standings with 53 points from 25 games.
