Team News

Chaves
Benfica
  • Ygor Nogueira was sent off against Vitória SC and serves a match ban. João Queirós should deputize.
  • Langa and Sandro Cruz will be in competition to start at right-wing back.
  • Arthur Cabral had a decent performance coming from the bench and will push for a start upfront.
  • Roger Schmidt opted for a three-men back line last time around and might keep it here.

Prediction

  • Chaves were brushed aside by Vitória SC last time around as they lost 5-0 to the 'Conquistadores'. Moreno' men might be low on morale as that happened after a tough elimination from the Portuguese Cup at the hands of a 3rd tier team.
  • SL Benfica got back their smile in Arouca as they got back to winning ways thanks to a 2-0 victory in midweek for the league cup. The 'Eagles' will look to get back to winning ways in the league after a surprising home draw against Casa Pia AC.
  • The hosts were able to upset SL Benfica last season, beating Roger Schmidt's men by 1-0. However, things should be different here as Benfica seem to be recovering their momentum.
