The Liga Portugal match between Sporting Lisbon and Gil Vicente will take place at Estadio Jose Alvalade on Tuesday at 1:30 am IST.
The twelfth round of matches in the Primeira Liga is set to conclude on Monday with a clash between Sporting Lisbon and Gil Vicente at Estadio Jose Alvalade. Sporting Lisbon, currently occupying the second spot in the league standings, share 28 points with the table-toppers Benfica. On the other hand, Gil Vicente holds the eleventh position with 11 points from their 12 matches.
Sporting Lisbon aims to reclaim the top spot in the league after a month-long break, triggered by a 2-1 loss to Benfica. Despite a recent 1-1 draw with Atalanta in the Europa League, Sporting secured a place in the knockout round. With an impeccable home record of six wins in six league matches, they face Gil Vicente, a team they have consistently dominated, winning the last eight encounters at Estadio Jose Alvalade since October 2011. Sporting’s offensive prowess has seen them score two or more goals in all but one home match this season.
Gil Vicente secured a spot in the Taca de Portugal Round of 16 with a 1-0 victory over FC Serpa, courtesy of Kanya Fujimoto’s lone goal. The team, guided by Vitor Campelos, heads into the match against Sporting Lisbon with 11 points, just one above the relegation playoff position. Despite scoring 23 goals, matching Benfica and Sporting, Gil Vicente has struggled on the road, losing all five away matches this season. With three wins, two draws, and six losses, they aim to improve their away form and climb the league standings in the tightly contested bottom half.
Sporting Lisbon probable starting lineup: Adan, Diomande, Coates, Neto, Esgaio, Hjulmand, Morita, Reis, Pote, Gyokeres, Edwards
Gil Vicente probable starting lineup: Andrew, Carlos, Lopes, Fernandes, Boas, Tiba, Dominguez, Fujimoto, Neto, de Souza, Baturina
