It's not an accident that Gil Vicente were one of the three teams without a point after the first three rounds, nor is it by accident they're last now. It reflects the lack of quality in their roster and suggests they're fighting against relegation. They're very thin at defensive midfielders and their defense is even more weakened without both center backs today. They have only one true center back now, who didn't play a match in 6 months, which will force Mota to experiment on defense. Sporting are struggling to get results once again, and cannot capitalize on a performance that is very unlike their points, but they have to get a break once, and it seems this is the day. If they are to score more than one goal in one of their first eight matches somewhere, Barcelos seems their best bet, as their next matches are against Chelsea and Porto. Of the five they've played so far, they've scored one goal in each match, and the weak Gil is a good chance to improve their scoring ratio, especially since they took points on past two occasions here as well, end of 2013 it was 2-0 and back at its start 3-2 when they were in much worse shape than now.
In Maribor Sporting once again showed they're in the game, especially since João Mário arrived, but they failed to capitalize on 13 shots on the goal and poor defending. They have the offense, can create opportunities, but the goals did not happen. With Rojo leaving, their defending couple Maurício-Sarr are still tuning up, which could give P.Oliveira a chance. They don't instill confidence either way, so team over seems the best bet, as Sporting will score, regardless of whether they need two to win.
