Most recent H2Hs: Only the second time to meet
Considering the history of AVS and this being their first-ever season in the top flight, it's not surprising that they've meant Gil Vicente only once so far and that was earlier this season when Gil Vicente won 4-2 at home.

AVS preview: Hoping to end the poor streak
As we already mentioned above, AVS are winless in 13 straight games in the Primeira Liga and for the entire season they only have a couple of wins, so it is a bit of a miracle that they aren't last in the standings since they're three points ahead of Boavista. In fact, AVS are also just one point behind the first team outside of the relegation zone, so they still have plenty of time to secure survival, if they can find their best form and some wins.

Gil Vicente preview: Struggling to keep their heads above water
We saw Gil Vicente do well in recent games, with three wins and two draws in their last five, which came after a four-game losing streak. More impressive in their recent run is the fact that they've managed to avoid a loss against Sporting and then beat Porto. Still, Gil Vicente are only ninth in the standings with 22 points from 18 games.
Gil Vicente will be without their manager Bruno Pinheiro in this match, after he was sent off in the last round's duel with Porto. Meanwhile, the only injured player at the club right now is Sphephelo Sithole.

Player to watch: Felix Correia
With five goals and three assists in the league this season, the 24-year-old forward is one of Gil Vicente's main offensive weapons. Correia is currently the team's joint top scorer along with Kanya Fujimoto, so AVS will have to keep a close eye on both of them if they want to avoid a loss in this match.
