Team News

Vitoria de Guimaraes
Benfica
  • Bruno Varela is a doubt for Sunday, which could give Charles another chance to feature between the sticks.
  • João Mendes had a decent performance last time around and will push for a start here.
  • Alexander Bah should get start once again, which would move Aursnes up the pitch.
  • Florentino might get the nod over Kokçu at the middle of the park as he's more defensive awareness.

Prediction

  • Vitória SC got back to winning ways in the league after beating FC Vizela on the road last time road. Álvaro Pacheco' men followed that up with a win at the Portuguese Cup that grant them a ticket to the semi-finals.
  • SL Benfica heads into this match after beating FC Vizela in midweek to get into the Portuguese Cup' semi-finals. In the league, they're enjoying an eight-game winning run which they will look to extend to keep the pace at the title race.
  • Playing in Guimarães is always a tough task for SL Benfica who were held to a draw on their last couple of trips. It wouldn't be a major surprise if they slip at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques once again.
