Team News

Pacos de Ferreira
Benfica
  • Igor Vekic misses out after being sent off last time out so Jordi Martins could make his return after a year out.
  • Nuno Lima is also suspended, albeit for an accumulation of bookings, with Ganchas hoping to benefit with a start against his old club.
  • Nuno Santos will miss Friday's game as he cannot face his parent club. Diaby should deputise.
  • Rafa is a doubt with Diogo Goncalves set to deputise.
  • With Everton a doubt, Darwin Nunez may have to start out wide.

Prediction

  • FC Pacos de Ferreira went down to 10 men early away to Santa Clara last time out and fell to defeat as expected from that position.
  • Benfica lost to FC Porto last weekend and to make matters worse it meant their rivals won the title in their own stadium. Confidence will be low here.
  • Benfica would usually be the clear favourites but they just want the season over and done with.

  • 1x @1.83

  • Paços win, Benfica will play the kids

  • @Madcat Thanks madcat.Will Porto and Sporting also play the kids ?

  • @Rensen They will most likely play Virginia at goalkeeper but I don't think they'll change too much, Benfica has like 4 debuts because they have plenty of youngster talent. Porto might not play their kids but I think it's likely that they play players that are on their B team so they can have a chance at being champions, Rúben Semedo, Andrade, Claudio Ramos, not exactly the best players but I'd count on a Porto and Sporting win regardless

  • Over 2.5 goals.
