Porto step into Monday night knowing another win nudges them closer to ending a three-year wait for the league title. The Dragons sit seven points clear at the top, while Gil Vicente arrive in fourth, 21 points back but quietly confident. Odds lean heavily toward Porto. Still, Gil Vicente have avoided defeat in three of the last six meetings, so this is not quite the walkover it might look like.

Liga Portugal
Since 2022, these sides have met nine times across all competitions. Porto have had the upper hand with five wins and four clean sheets. Gil Vicente claimed two victories, with one draw in between. Goals have been steady rather than wild, averaging 2.56 per game.
FC Porto team overview
Alongside Benfica, Porto remain unbeaten in the Primeira Liga. Seventeen wins and a single draw tell the story, as does a defence that has conceded just four league goals.
Under Francesco Farioli, this side looks serious. Seven points clear of Sporting, the title suddenly feels close, maybe closer than fans expected back in August.
Midweek brought a small wobble in Europe. A sixth-minute goal in Plzen ended a run of five straight clean sheets, although the Dragons recovered well to earn a draw.
Back home, confidence is higher. Porto have won their last four league games at the Dragão. Samu Aghehowa with 12 goals is expected to lead the line, supported by Borja and Pepê, who share seven.
Nehuén Pérez, Luuk de Jong, Tomás Pérez and André Franco remain sidelined.

Gil Vicente team overview
Gil Vicente are enjoying their strongest top-flight season since promotion six years ago. Fourth place and just three defeats after 18 games is no small feat.
César Peixoto’s side arrive unbeaten in six matches, even if five of those ended level. A comeback draw against Sporting in that run says plenty about their resilience.
Away from home, the Roosters have also been hard to shift. Five straight away games without defeat, mostly draws, but still. They will travel to Porto believing something is possible.
Top scorer Pablo, with 10 goals, missed the win over Nacional amid talk of a move to West Ham. In the absence of the 22-year-old, Souza Costa and Gustavo Varela should share the creative load.

Prediction
Porto at home usually find a way, even on quieter nights. The Dragons have won all four of their recent league games at the Dragão and conceded just four goals all season. Gil Vicente are stubborn, especially away, but Porto’s defence has been relentless. A narrow 1–0 win feels about right.
Three reasons we expect Porto win this game
- Porto have won each of their last five home matches.
- Gil Vicente boast just one win from their last eight matches.
- Porto won three of their last four home meetings with Gil Vicente.
