Prediction: 3-0
Gil Vicente
Benfica and Gil Vicente go head to head at Estadio da Luz in a David-vs-Goliath clash. Benfica are enjoying a season to remember, with the team leading the chase for the title, eight points clear of second-place Porto, and they must be high on spirits following a 5-1 crushing of Estoril. Roger Schmidt is unlikely to make changes to the starting XI for the last game before the World Cup break, but both Julian Draxler and Felipe Morato continue to miss out with injuries.
Os Galos, on the other hand, are on a five-game losing run in Primeira Liga, and given their shaky defence, the visitors are unlikely to claim a major scalp on Matchday 13. In their last meeting in Lisbon Gil Vicente shocked Benfica, meaning that the league leaders are hungry for revenge. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Alex Grimaldo):
Alex Grimaldo is a Spanish footballer who plays for Portuguese side Benfica as a left back. Born in Valencia on September 20, 1995, Grimaldo started his youth career at his hometown club FC Valencia, but in 2008 Barcelona scouts brought him to Camp Nou.
The 171-cm-tall footballer scored six goals in 92 appearances for Barca B before joining Primeira Liga club Benfica in the winter of 2015.

The Benfica defender has two caps for Spain U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut with the senior team. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a left winger as well.

The Galos suffered a 2-1 loss to Benfica in the title game at Estadio Cidade de Coimbra. The likes of Rodrigo and Saviola scored for Benfica, with Ze Luis finding the net for Gil Vicente.
