Team News

Benfica
Boavista
  • Álvaro Carreras was signed in midweek but is not expected to start as Morato has been playing well at left-back.
  • Marcos Leonardo scored on his debut, but Arthur Cabral will likely keep his spot up front.
  • If he recovers in time, Salvador Agra is expected to start at right-back.
  • Tiago Morais enjoyed a wonderful performance last time out and will be full of confidence here.

Prediction

  • SL Benfica came from behind to beat Rio Ave FC last time out in a match where they played against 10 men for the last 30 minutes. The Eagles are on the hunt for first place and will need a win to keep the pressure on Sporting CP.
  • Boavista FC claimed an amazing win over FC Vizela as they won 4-1 away from home. This happened after holding FC Porto to a 1-1 draw, and might be a tough bone to chew here.
  • However, SL Benfica are by far the better team and will likely claim another routine home win here.
