Team News

Gil Vicente
Benfica
  • Alipour, Kristyuk and Murilo remain unavailable here but none of them had feature in Primeira Liga so far.
  • Martim Neto will miss out as he cannot face his parent club.
  • Musa is back available but he might not get back to Starting XI as Tengstedt made an impact coming from the bench last time around and could actually lead the line here. Arthur Cabral is another option.
  • Jurasek remains injured, which might force Roger Schmidt to use Aursnes as left back once again.
  • Vlachodimos will likely leave the club until the end of the transfer window, and isn't likely to feature here. Samuel Soares will likely start between the sticks.

Prediction

  • Gil Vicente FC were unable to follow their amazing 5-0 win in the opening match with another victory as they lost 2-1 to Vitória SC last time around. They will look to get back to winning ways against last year's champions.
  • SL Benfica had an hard time against Estrela de Amadora, but were able to beat them by 2-0, getting their first win in Primeira Liga this season. The Eagles will be confident to follow that up with another victory.
  • This should be a tough match for the visitors, but they're expected to prevail as they have a far better team.
