Gil Vicente, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Gil Vicente players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Estoril. Their share of possession in that meeting was 63%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Estoril, who had 7 shots on goal with 2 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Having shipped at least a single goal in 20 of their 25 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They have had a good run of form at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Fran Navarro will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 13 goals in Gil Vicente's 25 league games this season.
Sporting CP, Recent FormIn their last match Sporting CP enforced their superiority over Santa Clara with a 3-0 home win. In that game they recorded 73 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 10 shots on goal.
With 13 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Rúben Amorim will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 4 goals in the same period. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 10 games. They are proving tough to beat with their recent run of 4 clean sheets.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 5 games.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Sporting CP, Pedro Gonçalves will be looking to add more goals against Gil Vicente in this match.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Gil Vicente, losing 3-1 to Sporting CP.
Sportinguistas will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 13 encounters with Gil Vicente. Sporting CP have an impressive record of scoring goals against Gilistas, with a tally of 15 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
Sporting CP will be looking to continue their winning streak against Gil Vicente, having won each of the last 6 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
Fran Navarro has scored in each of Gil Vicente's last 2 league games against Sporting CP.
With only Ali Alipour (Muscle) and Stanislav Kritsyuk (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Daniel Sousa will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Rúben Amorim has a number of injury concerns in his Sporting CP squad to contend with: Héctor Bellerín (Knee), Daniel Bragança (Ligament) and Jovane Cabral (Muscle)
