Team News

Boavista
Benfica
  • Either João Gonçalves or Luís Henrique will start in goal here.
  • Vukotic might get the nod over Reisinho at the middle of the park.
  • Neres missed out against FC Porto due to a knee injury and is a doubt for Monday.
  • João Neves had a lovely performance against rivals FC Porto and will likely start alongside Kokçu in midfield once again.
  • After scoring against FC Porto, Petar Musa might have a chance to start against his former club.

Prediction

  • Boavista FC will aim for a top 8 finish after a wonderful performance last season. Petit' men, however, had a rough start to the season as they were eliminated from the league cup by União de Leiria through penalties.
  • SL Benfica won the Super Cup against rivals FC Porto last time out in a match where Di María proved to be a key figure for the Eagles. They're looking to win back-to-back league titles here.
  • The visitors will be boosted heading into Sunday' match and are expected to beat Boavista FC at Estádio do Bessa without much trouble as they did last season, beating the 'Axadrezados' by 3-0.
