Bet Of The Day April 12 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Sporting have won eight of the last nine meetings between the teams
Sporting are in first spot on the ladder
Gil Vicente are in 14th spot on the ladder
Gil Vicente are on a three-game losing streak
Sporting have conceded in 10 of their last 11 games
Gil Vicente have scored in 15 of their last 17 home games

We’re off to the Liga Portugal for today’s best bet as Sporting look to extend their lead at the top of the table when they square off against lowly Gil Vicente.

Sporting are flying high in first spot on the ladder after 27 games this season, winning 23, drawing two and losing just two fixtures.

By contrast, Gil Vicente are languishing in 14th position, just two points above the relegation zone, winning just seven of their 28 games and losing 14.

It comes as no surprise we’ll be backing Sporting to prevail here, but we can get great value with both teams to score as well.

Sporting may be leading the ladder, but defensively they haven’t been great. Indeed, Sporting have conceded in 10 of their last 11 games, with BTTS also landing in those 10 outings.

Furthermore, Sporting’s last three victories over Gil Vicente have seen both teams find the back of the net, including a 3-1 victory earlier this season.

Gil Vicente have managed to score in 15 of their last 17 home games in all competitions, so they should feel confident of finding the back of the net.

But an upset is unlikely, with Gil Vicente currently on a three-game losing streak. Sporting have won eight of the last nine meetings between the teams and should come out on top again.
