Benfica vs Gil Vicente Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Liga Portugal 2025-26

The Eagles dominated the proceedings when these sides last met.

SL Benfica are all set to take on Gil Vicente in their matchweek 7 contest of the Liga Portugal 2025-26 season. The entrancing fixture between these clubs is scheduled to take place at the Estadio da Luz.

The Jose Mourinho-led side will be at home and are unbeaten in the Portuguese league at the moment. Benfica scored a late goal, but also conceded a last-minute goal and were held to a 1-1 draw by Rio Ave. The Eagles should’ve secured a win there, but due to their loose defence, they missed out on the chance.

Gil Vicente are now placed fourth on the Liga Portugal table of the current campaign. They have secured back-to-back positive outcomes in their last three matches. The visiting side will surely be under pressure, but will be putting up a strong fight against the hosts.

Kick-off:

• Location: Lisbon, Portugal
• Stadium: Estadio da Luz
• Date: Saturday, September 27
• Kick-off Time: 12:45 a.m. IST (Friday, Sept 26; 07:15 p.m. GMT/ 03:15 p.m. ET/ 12:15 p.m. PT)
• Referee: Joao Goncalves
• VAR: In use

Players to Watch

Vangelis Pavlidis (Benfica)

Vangelis Pavlidis has been one of the main men in the attacking front for SL Benfica. In six Portuguese Primeira Liga appearances, the 26-year-old has scored three goals and also has two assists to his name. His presence in the final third is surely going to create problems for the opponents.

Pablo (Gil Vicente)

Gil Vicente have performed well in their last three matches and Pablo has scored in all of them. The 21-year-old has scored four goals in six league games this season.

He will be ready to continue his form going forward. The upcoming game will not be an easy one, but a special performance from Pablo can help his side.
