Prediction: 2-0
Gil Vicente
Monday’s football game between Sporting and Gil Vicente will bring down the curtain on the Primeira Liga round 12. The Lions rolled over lower-league side Dumiense 8-0 at the weekend, with the team quickly bouncing back from the heart-breaking loss in the Lisbon derby. Sporting aim to regain top position in the standings and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Os Galos. Talented defender Ivan Fresneda misses out with injury, but Ruben Amorim can count on key players for Monday’s showdown.
Os Galos, on the other hand, have suffered a loss in each of their five away games this season and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Sporting’s party in Lisbon. Both Stanislav Kritsyuk and Ali Alipour are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team. Vitor Campelos is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Highlighted Player (Sebastian Coates):
Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, on October 7, 1990, Sebastian Coates is a 196-cm-tall defender who plays for Sporting CP in Primeira Liga.

La Celeste won the trophy, with the team beating Paraguay 3-0 in the final of the competition at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti in Buenos Aires. Coates wears the number 4 shirt at Sporting CP, and his preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Gil Vicente):
Founded in 1924, Gil Vicente are a Portuguese football club that compete in Primeira Liga. The Galos (Roosters) are well known for their red kit, but they wear white shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
