Team News

Farense
Benfica
  • Marco Matias could bring fresh legs to the attack if recovered.
  • Tozé Marreco should keep the three-man backline used against SC Braga last time out despite losing that game.
  • Akturkoglu enjoyed a wonderful performance playing as false nine and Bruno Lage might keep him in that role.
  • Pavlidis renewed his confidence levels with a brace in midweek.

Prediction

  • Despite playing against a fatigued SC BRaga, Farense were unable to put up a fight against the Gverreiros do Minho and ended up losing 2-0. The team has improved under Tozé Marreco, but they're still rooted to the foot of the table.
  • SL Benfica reacted to their Champions League defeat in the best way possible as they beat Rio Ave 5-0. The Eagles have improve massively up front since Bruno Lage took charge, scoring 17 goals in four league matches.
  • The São Luís stadium is usually a tough place to play for a visitor, but given SL Benfica's quality, anything but an away win would be a surprise.
