Casa Pia v Gil Vicente: European push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Casa Pia host Gil Vicente in Liga Portugal on Saturday, 13 December 2025 at the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior, with the hosts trying to climb away from the relegation battle and the visitors aiming to consolidate a European place.

Recent head-to-heads have been tight, with draws frequent in this fixture, though Casa Pia edged the most recent league meeting 1-0 in February 2025.

Form points in opposite directions. Casa Pia are winless in five league matches, including defeats to Santa Clara and Alverca, though they did take a draw at Benfica in November. Gil Vicente have taken two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five league games, most recently holding Vitória S.C. away.

The visitors' defensive platform has been a standout this season. Only six goals conceded and nine clean sheets hint at a side comfortable keeping games under control. Up front, Pablo De Jesus is among the league's leading scorers with eight, while Murilo has contributed three assists. Casa Pia have conceded 27 league goals, so Jeremy Livolant's direct threat may be crucial if the hosts are to unsettle a well-drilled back line.

In the table, Casa Pia sit 15th on nine points and a win would lift them to 12, which could pull them away from the relegation fight. Gil Vicente are 4th with 24 points in the European spots. Victory would take them to 27 and strengthen their grip on that position.
