Gil Vicente may be looking to halt their recent losing streak but their chances of doing so against fourth  placed Sporting Lisbon look bleak. These two teams will meet at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos on Wednesday in a Portugal Primera Liga match. Gil Vicente are 3th in the standings with 29 points from 25 matches while the visitors have 53 points which is six places adrift of the final Champions League place but with this game in hand. The hosts find themselves ten points above the relegation play-off spot currently held by Maritimo but recent form has given a cause for concern. They lost two league games in a row, a run that halted a streak of five unbeaten games prior. Despite this, they still remain a force at home, winning three and drawing two of their last five home league matches.

Sporting are chasing the Champions League qualifier spot which is currently held by Braga. A win here will keep them closer and help stay in the hunt, as Sporting look to continue their recent impressive form. The visitors are unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions where they won seven and drew two. In the league as well, Sporting have won eight of their last nine matches including five straight wins so there’s tailwind to give them momentum. To go with that, the visitors have won their last six league matches against Gil Vicente making this a familiar fixture to be comfortable about.
