Team News

AVS Futebol SAD
Benfica
  • Gustavo Assunção saw the 5th yellow card of the season last time out and won't be available.
  • Rafael Rodrigues is also set to miss out here as he cannot face his parent club.
  • Carreras misses out after reaching a milestone of bookings against Vitória SC. Beste might replace him at left-back.
  • Amdouni made an impact coming from the bench and will push for a start here.

Prediction

  • AFS confirmed their good form on the road by picking up a valuable point against Casa Pia last weekend. However, this did not prevent the team from remaining too close to the relegation zone.
  • Despite managing to create several chances, Benfica could only manage a goalless draw against Bologna in midweek. Bruno Lage's side have kept a clean sheet in their last three games, but seem to have lost some gas in attack during that run.
  • Playing at home, AFS have lost their last three games and it's to be expected that this run will be extended against a technically superior Benfica side.

  • Benfica Win

  • Kerem TSA +120

  • Benfica is building up a solid team, but latest matches as been so poor. offensively is missing something. and when the chance comes Pavlidis miserably misses a lot. Probably another 0-1 or 0-2 game with Di Maria Goal/assist
