Team News

Benfica
Vitoria de Guimaraes
  • Other than Jurasek, SL Benfica will have a full squad available for Sunday.
  • Guedes returned to the club in midweem but he’s not expected to feature yet
  • Arcanjo and Mangas remain injured and won’t be available here.
  • Nuno Santos, who was not expected to feature anyway, is unavailable to face his former club as he was sent off last time around.

Prediction

  • SL Benfica got another win but were far from convincing against Gil Vicente as they were leaky at the back. The Eagles have conceded 5 goals in their first three matches.
  • Vitória SC will be full of confidence on their trip go Estádio da Luz as they’re currently top of the table with three wins on their first three games in Primeira Liga and might still feel the effects of a new manager bounce.
  • The hosts will have no easy task, but they’re expected to win as they have a far better team
