Sporting take on the visitors Gil Vicente in the round 8 match of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Friday, September 30th at Estádio José Alvalade (Lisbon).
Sporting somehow looks disappointing at the start of the current championship, in seven rounds played so far, they got only 10 points, losing three of these matches, including last match of the championship to Boavista, and it was extremely necessary for them to take a break due to the showdown of the teams in the Nations League. Before this respite, the “lions” had a chance to play 5 matches in two weeks, two of them in the Champions League, by the way, Sporting is doing well there, they won both battles.

Gil Vicente lived a typical mid-table side on Portuguese elite division, in the last championship they had repeated the highest success in his history, finishing fifth. Such result previously was reached back in the 99-00 season when they were also fifth. In the current season, it goes according to its usual average schedule, 9 points in seven rounds, firm 10th place in the middle of the standings. In defense, the team, oddly enough, looks pretty reliable, conceding only 8 goals. Against Porto was quite expected result 0-2. But the “roosters” have not yet played in the current championship with any other team from the top of the standings, all their opponents were from 12 to the last place in the table.
Gil Vicente will go to the lair to rested and furious "lions" who are already six points behind the top three and will definitely not put up with this any longer. Gil Vicente, as it looks, is a convenient opponent for Sporting, in 12 of the last 13 meetings, the current vice-champion took all three points from Gil Vicente, and all of them were quite effective, at least two goals were scored in all matches. For sure, this time the audience will not be deprived of entertainment either, they will expect to see at least two goals, most likely they will be made by their favorites, whose victory the stands will most likely rejoice after the match.
Prediction for the match: Sporting to win and over 1.5 scored goals.
