Team News

Vizela
Benfica
  • Matheus Pereira should start at the left-hand side of the defense as Lebedenko is injured.
  • Kiko Bondoso left for Maccabi Tel Aviv, which hands Lacava the chance to feature out wide from now on.
  • Bernat could make his debut here, moving Aursnes to right-back.
  • Musa and Arthur Cabral will be in competition to lead the line here.
  • Trubin could have his chance to start, replacing Samuel Soares in goal.

Prediction

  • FC Vizela got their first win of the season before the break as they were able to beat Gil Vicente FC by 1-0. However, they were still leaky at the back and will need to improve in that regard if they want to avoid a beating on Saturday.
  • SL Benfica had a convincing win over Vitória SC in the last match before the International break. They're expected to be confident as they look to leapfrog the teams at the top of the table.
  • It's usual for SL Benfica to struggle to beat FC Vizela away from home. However, that always happened in the end (4 wins in 4 matches in Vizela) and things should be no different come Saturday.
