Gil Vicente v Casa Pia: top-half push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Gil Vicente host Casa Pia in Liga Portugal at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos on Monday, 27 April 2026, with the hosts aiming to cement a top-half finish while the visitors look to climb away from the relegation play-offs.

The last meeting finished 1-1 in December. Gil Vicente arrive in 6th, whereas Casa Pia sit 16th in the relegation play-off place.

Form is mixed. Gil Vicente have taken one win in five league games, including a home defeat last time out. Casa Pia are winless in five, but draws against Benfica and Santa Clara offered a platform amid losses to Alverca and Braga.

Season trends point to contrasting profiles. Gil Vicente have scored 44 and conceded 31, with 11 clean sheets, 50% possession and 80.57% passing accuracy. Casa Pia have 28 goals for and 53 against, six clean sheets, 41% possession and 73.79% passing accuracy. The hosts could look to control the ball and build through midfield, while the visitors may lean on compact organisation and quick breaks.

Key threats back that up. For Gil Vicente, Pablo De Jesus has 10 league goals, with Murilo on nine and creator Luís Esteves on eight assists. For Casa Pia, Jérémy Livolant leads the supply line with eight assists, supported by Gaizka Larrazabal's delivery from wide areas.

A positive result would strengthen Gil Vicente's hold on the top half. For Casa Pia, points here would be valuable in the survival fight and could ease the pressure around the relegation play-off spot.
