Team News

Benfica
Estrela da Amadora
  • Musa was sent off against Boavista FC and will serve the first of a two-match ban. Arthur Cabral might lead the line with his new club as result.
  • Jurasek is also unavailable as he went off injured last time out. Ristic might deputise.
  • Vlachodimos made a huge mistake last Monday, and could be replaced by Trubin in goal on Saturday.
  • Miguel Lopes received a direct red card against Vitória SC and will miss out here. Omurwa will probably deputise.
  • Léo Jabá and Ronald Pereira will be in competition to feature out wide.

Prediction

  • Benfica were unexpectedly defeated by Boavista last time out as they conceded a couple of late goals that saw the 'Axadrezados' claim a historical win. Roger Schmidt's men will need to react if they want to keep the pace in the title race.
  • Estrela lost to Vitória SC in their first match since returning to the Primeira Liga. Being reduced to 10 men early on, they were unable to show their best version.
  • The 'Tricolores' will have no easy task in their second match, as they face a side that will be eager for the first three points of their campaign.
