Gil Vicente and Sporting Lisbon meet at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos in the Taca de Portugal quarterfinal. In the previous edition, Gil Vicente lost 3-1 against Vitoria and in the quarter-finals. Can the home team reach the semifinal for the first time in eight years? Let's find out in our match prediction. 

Gil Vicente have seen a significant downturn in performance in Liga Portugal. The hosts were on a six-match unbeaten run recording three wins and three draws. Currently, they are on a five-match losing streak. 

The most recent of those losses was a 1-0 away defeat against Casa Pia. This has left them two points ahead of the relegation play-off. 

Gilistas will turn their attention to the Taca de Portugal where they've fared better. They have recorded three consecutive wins against Os Belenenses (0-2), Vila Real (0-2) and Moreirense (1-0). 

Sporting Lisbon find themselves in a rut once again. The visitors are winless in their last five matches across all competitions recording four draws and a solitary defeat.

Their floundering form hit a new low when they wasted a two-goal lead to be held to a thrilling 2-2 away league draw against AVS Futebol SAD. 

The Lions have been impressive in the Taca de Portugal and come into this clash boasting three consecutive wins. Their most recent was a 2-1 extra-time home win against Santa Clara.
