Team News

Benfica
Gil Vicente
  • Alexander Bah is a doubt for Saturday. As a result, Tomás Araújo might be moved to right-hand side of the defense once again.
  • Kokçu and Akturkoglu (2 goals and 2 assists each in the last three games) are enjoying delightful runs of form and will be full of beans here.
  • Mory Gbane is still recovering from a thigh injury and might not recover on time. If that's the case, Bruno Pinheiro could start with Santi García at the middle of the park.
  • Either Aguirre or Cauê will lead the line for the visitors.

Prediction

  • Bruno Lage's arrival has improved Benfica's game immensely and the dominant win over Boavista last Monday proves it. The Reds will be keen to continue their good momentum and stay alive in the race for first place
  • A late penalty denied Gil Vicente the chance to pick up three points at home to Casa Pia, showing some inefficiency in attack. The Gilistas have only won one game this season and have drawn five (!) of their last five matches.
  • Benfica may have one eye on the Champions League game against Atlético Madrid next week, but it shouldn't be enough to take their focus off this match. A routine home win is the most likely scenario here.
