Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Benfica
Match Time & Date:
26 September 2025
20:15
Prediction: 2-0
Gil Vicente
Following a slim 1-1 draw with Rio Ave, Benfica will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Primeira Liga on Matchday 7. New boss Jose Mourinho is trying to put all pieces of the puzzle together and Friday’s football game could be the turning point for “The Special One” and his men. All Bah, Bruma, Felix, and Manu have been struggling with injuries of late, while summer signing Dodi Lukebakio is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Os Galos, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Portuguese top flight, but they will have a mountain to climb at Estadio da Luz. As we do not believe that Benfica will drop points in back-to-back league games, home win should be considered. You should know that Benfica have defeated Gil Vicente in each of their last three meetings in Lisbon.
Highlighted Team (Benfica):
Member of the ‘Big Three’ clubs in Portugal alongside FC Porto and CP Sporting, Sport Lisboa e Benfica are the football club that has never been relegated from the Primeira Liga. The club is nicknamed Aguias because of the Eagle symbol atop the club’s crest. Benfica play their home games at the Estadio da Luz which replaced the original one in 2003 and which boasts the capacity of more than 64,000. Arguably the most successful club in Portugal, Benfica have won a record of 35 Primeira Liga titles and also a record 25 Taca de Liga and 7 Taca da Liga trophies.
Two-time European Cup winners, Benfica are the club known for their diligent work with youth players, many of which went on to make great careers abroad. The most prominent players to wear a Benfica shirt are legendary Eusebio, Manuel Bento, Jorge Tavares and most recently Javier Saviola, Nuno Gomes, David Luiz and Angel Di Maria.
