Team News

Benfica
Farense
  • Other than Bah and Neres, there are no injury concerns for the hosts.
  • Roger Schmidt might ring the changes here after last weekend's draw. Bernat, Kokçu and Musa could all start as a result.
  • Fabrício Isidoro was sent off against Vitória SC and won't feature here.
  • Mattheus Oliveira is doubtful for Friday, which might hand Rafael Barbosa a chance to start.

Prediction

  • Benfica are no longer league leaders as they conceded a disappointing scoreless draw against Moreirense FC. Roger Schmidt' men were heavily contested by their supporters last time around, and a reaction will be demanded here.
  • Farense heads into Friday on the back of a 2-1 home loss to Vitória SC. José Mota' men, however, should not be affected by that as they are comfortably sitting at 8th place in the league.
  • The hosts are favorites to win this match, but will likely to struggle to get past a solid defensive side like SC Farense. Nonetheless, they should get all the spoils at the end of the day.
