With their 9 point advantage in the league table, Gil Vicente fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Tondela.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Primeira Liga match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Vitória SC, so at least Vicente are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Vicente can neither be promoted or relegated from Primeira Liga. Tondela are struggling to avoid relegation.
