Vitória SC – GIL Vicente

Vitória SC host Gil Vicente in what promises to be a crucial clash in the lower half of the table, with the home side sitting 13th on four points after one win, one draw and four defeats, scoring just four goals while conceding seven. Gil Vicente sit a little higher in ninth place, having amassed seven points from two victories, one draw and two losses, with an even goal‑difference of four scored and four conceded.

Both sides will be keen to improve their records as the season heads into its decisive phase.
