Porto v Gil Vicente: leaders' title charge meets European push | OneFootball

Leaders Porto host fourth-placed Gil Vicente in Liga Portugal on Monday, 26 January 2026 at Estádio do Dragão, with the title race and the European spots in focus.

Porto sit top on 52 points after an unbeaten 18-game start, and won the reverse fixture 2-0 away in August 2025. Gil Vicente arrive in fourth on 31 points, positioned for a European berth after a steady first half of the campaign.

Porto's momentum is strong. Four straight league wins have underlined their control. Gil Vicente are unbeaten in their last five league matches, drawing four before edging Nacional 2-1 last time out, a sequence that has kept them in the top four mix.

Defensively, Porto have been outstanding, conceding just four goals with 14 clean sheets, backed by 56% possession and 85.12% passing accuracy. In attack, Samu Aghehowa has 12 league goals, with Borja Sainz on five. For Gil Vicente, Pablo De Jesus has 10 league goals and Luis Esteves has supplied five assists. With both sides delivering a high volume of open-play crosses, set pieces and aerial duels could be decisive.

A home win would take Porto to 55 points and further strengthen their title push. Victory for Gil Vicente would move them to 34 points and could consolidate fourth place and their route towards European qualification.
