Gil Vicente welcome Benfica on Monday aiming to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat to Estoril, but they will be without suspended defender Marvin Elimbi. Therefore, we predict a 2-1 win for Jose Mourinho's troops. Os Galos' home form offers encouragement: they average 2.20 points per game, scoring 2.40 goals per match in Barcelos and producing 1.94 xG. Gil are remarkably consistent in front of goal, failing to score in just 10% of league games, while BTTS has landed in 80% of their fixtures.
Benfica travel to Barcelos with injury concerns as both Felix and Veloso remain sidelined, but Jose Mourinho retains all key starters. The Eagles have won 60% of their league matches and boast 2.16 xG per game, a figure that reflects their attacking superiority. Their away record is more modest (1.40 PPG, 1.00 goals scored on average), yet they remain defensively stable, conceding just 1.00 goal per away game.
Head-to-head strongly favors Benfica, who have won 18 of the last 22 meetings, with 68% of those clashes finishing over 2.5 goals. Therefore, this betting option should be considered, alongside Benfica to Win and Benfica to Score First due to their dominant H2H record and superior squad.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Monday 2 March 2026 at 20:15.
